NAD! Crate TD70

Whiteface to be exact... TubeDriven70.
When these came in the music store where I worked at back in the early 90's, I was really impressed by these combo's.
(They were making those Crates that looked like a crate and never cared for 'em.)
Matter of fact, when I closed the store at 7:30 I plugged in a Stratocaster (type) I ended up playing that for a couple of hours... Just in the neck position... :shock: . Weird I know, but real good tones,
Anyway, I found one completely stock with the right "Celestion" grill loaded with the Celestion G-70 and 12ax7 for $99.00 +tx (free ship) from GC used gear section... less than a pedal or as much as the actual speaker, lol.
Glad I snagged one up again... It's the same as I remembered.... but cheaper :mrgreen:
Great little "Open Mic" amp, that has some tone to it. Nice little hybrid amp.

BTW Was this the "backstage" combo that YJM used or advertised back then ?
