Jeff Rowland model 3, are they any good

Hi Mordante, if that is the case, considering also the significant cost of shipping any used Model 3s weighing 200lbs from the USA to Europe, the asking price of EU2300 or so is fair.

Mordante, JRDG amps are pretty tough to break, and that is why there are so many superannuated Rowland amps from the mid to late '80s out there for sale. I for instance am the proud owner of a set of Model 7M monos. . . and since they came out of the factory, the only thing that went wrong was some cold solder in the output transistors of one of the units. . . device was running cold and sounding sterile. . . 2 minutes with a soldering to retouch the contacts with Cardas solder and the creature has been purring ever since. Specs and manuals for JRDG classic amps are at:

I haven't listened to the Model 3 in particular, but it comes from the same era as my Model 7Ms. . . I might expect a very engaging sound, with lots of body, slightly warm and with a soft top.

Mordante, according to Bluebook, the JRDG Model 3 averages $1970 on the used market. That's roughly 1300 Euros. The original price was $4700 new. The price your dealer is asking may be a little high. G.
