Hi,
I live in North Carolina and arround here the guys are real big "Elkin" amp users and they put crazy high prices on them because they say that a guy named Ray built them here in Elkin NC.
My question is --- is this true? if not where were they made? and what is a good price for the amps?? I paid $170 for my 2 tube--$215 for the 4 tube--$300 for the 6 tube--and $400 for the 8 tube. that was about 5 years ago. What is a good going price now --I know a couple of guys who have some that they are wanting to sell.
thanks Superbazooka |

yes, the elkins were made right here in nc(yes i'm a tarheel also). they were made in elkin nc, and his name -is- ray. they are no longer made, but there are still plenty out there. as far as i know, ray will still work on them, but will no longer make them. there is a guy about 20 miles south of me who built these amps with ray at one time, and still repairs them also.
as far as prices, you'll pay about what you paid for the amps above depending on the # of tubes and the condition of the amp. they are all over nc and it should not be hard to find one. |

Does anyone know how long they've made the Elkins. I've got an old amp thats at least 25-30 years old, no name on it, and its been repainted, but a couple guys have told me its an Elkins. |
