It developed an issue so I replaced it with a Traynor tube amp and then an Ampeg then a Sunn and various rigs after that. I liked the Vox while it worked though. If I could have found another Westminster or a Beatle I would have bought it. I kept mine all these years as I couldn't get any money for it and couldn't seem to find anyone to work on it.<br /><br />I recently found a shop that works on Thomas Organ Vox amps and with luck they can get it working again. Either people love these old things or hate them. Hardly anyone wants a solid state guitar amp, but the Westminster I bought did influence me to prefer solid state bass heads over tube bass heads and I still own an Ampeg V4 tube amp. <br /><br /> donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943762436600028853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613893995913129147.post-30633520007695029592015-03-26T12:16:51.269-07:002015-03-26T12:16:51.269-07:00I had a Vox amp in the 1960's.

The Thomas Organ solid state Vox amps were pure CRAP, plain and simple, especially when they were compared to a Vox tube amp or a pre-CBS Fender tube amp. The quality was so crappy on the Thomas Organ solid state Vox amps, their sales just crashed and no right thinking person would buy one! Probably was not until 2000 before Vox amps started selling again in the USA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613893995913129147.post-89248834873421533172010-09-23T13:45:20.398-07:002010-09-23T13:45:20.398-07:00Please consider looking at my father's WWII gu...Please consider looking at my father's WWII guitar he carried in Iwo Jima.
