I've got an old 1973 50-watt Marshall 1987x that I've had since the early nineties before they were vintage. It is my benchmark of tone. Unfortunately it doesn't get any play. I think I'm coming up on a year and half since I've last fired it up. There's a sentimental part of me that says it's irreplaceable and a sensible part of me that would rather it see a new home where it's used and loved. I'm almost 50, and don't expect to 'need' it....ever. So maybe I've answered my own question. I figure I can get between $1,000 to $1,400 for it. It's not in tip top shape, just sounds soooo good. I was thinking I could sell that and my AX8 and almost have enough for an AXIII but there's the footswitch issue. I'm on the FM3 waitlist and I'm not a footswitch dancer, so maybe I can put the money into something else. I just hate that it gets no playing and any value I get from it won't top the sentimental value.
