Seems reasonable value - the mkIII sells for £1600 here.

I would expect it to be well built and reliable enough - Icon have a rep for this.

If you get it I can highly recommend TAD 6SN7 tubes - I discovered these gems after a fair bit of tube rolling.

I sent a message to Icon to find out if the main transformer has tap for 110VAC. It should be possible because Icon is imported into the States. Thank you for the valves suggestion.
