  1. Hello Stewart

    ab fab job you did on the Selmer Little Giant amp. If you ever see a ‘croc’ please let me know.

    • I have a great condition Croc one in for a customer at the moment who wants to sell it.. It has a broken output transformer and he is waiting till he can afford to fix it.. If you are interested please email me and we can discuss (stewart.palmen@smpartizan.com) it is really nice with original cover.
