I tripped on a Screamer TS-808 Ibanez tube in the early 80 dell'annata with the integrated circuit of the JRC. Are you selling on ebay in a price range of $ 400 - $ 1000. That's the only place I've seen one and I can not find a price for one anywhere else. If anyone knows, please answer a. Only serious answers satisfy. Thanx!

    actually, im not too sure…personally i would go with the reissue for a few reasons. one) its the same components, down to the exact wiring and everything. two) it costs less. Three) its easier to get and get serviced if need be.
    ive got the TS-9, the reissue, but not the ‘vintage’ reissue, if you know what i mean. i would have gone with the turbo version, wich has the vintage reissue, the reissue and i think 2 updated versions of the TS; but i didnt have the money ($110 i think…).
