Fixing a noisy Orange OR 80. A British Legend On The Bench! 

😂👍

Definitely one of the finest amps I´ve ever played. And a good quality product, too. And loooud!

No doubt! It is a beauty! And a beast. It’s incredible loud.

Because they have to keep the bean-counters happy.

You're not comparing like with like - take a Marshall with the same year of manufacture as this Orange then make a comparison movies. the only way. Btw Martin those Thorn tubes - EMI took over the company in the seventies but not the "lighting part" -probably thought they were light bulbs... Pete

It does have a good component specification and is well put together but I had one of the Dave Reeves era Hiwatt fifty watt amps . With its huge Partridge transformers , steel chassis and military specification wiring it was a master class in what a hand wired amplifier should be.

Honestly I don't think a whole lot, just based on my limited knowledge. Unless there's a big gap in my knowledge the period of time that specific amp was made, Orange were just a relatively small point to point manufacturer in the UK so they couldn't really pump em out like they can now. Plus with so many old orange amps modded or (surprisingly) commonly converted into extension cabs upon breaking, specimens like the one in this video have got to be extremely desirable and hard to find if not extremely expensive.
