    Mesa Boogie advice.(Mark IIB and SOB combo)

    Hi guys.Not strictly a fender question but "kind of " fender related.
    Have any one on here ever owned/played through a Boogie?
    I absolutely hate the newer boogies ala the rectifier etc but I love the older "souped up fender" style boogies.
    I have a Mesa Boogie mark 2B(Which is in need of a recap as it still has the original 34 year old caps) I'm also trying to determine the value of a Mesa Son Of Boogie combo which was Mesas first attempt at a reissue at the MkI allbeit a stripped down version.
    Does anyone know what the SOB combo in good condition is worth these days?
    Also I'm restoring my 2B back to stock and I'm looking for carbon comp resistors.X 2 screen grid resisitors 470ohn 2 watt.X2 dropper resistors 1Kohm(10% tolerance)
    Any advice on the value of the SOB and info on where to obtain the original carbon comp resistors(Mesa don't make them anymore)I've tried Ebay with no luck.
    Also I'm looking for an Eminence MS-12 speaker or an EVM-12L for my 2B.
    Any help/advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks folks.

    Thanks for that.It's gave me a rough idea of the value of the combos.I think the one at $849 is over priced though?

    Way over priced. It depends on the options on the SOB. One languished on the Boston CL a few years ago and eventually sold for less than $400!

    It's a 60 watt combo.No reverb.would you trade a Fender blues deluxe and add £200 for the SOB?
