Probably not the best place for this kind of expensive ad but out of respect for the forum I thought I would give it a headstart before posting for the public.

I doesn't do anyone any good without a price or internal pics to see if anything inside
has been compromised.

He wants you to read the linked message.
Looks like price is $6k.
I wish he was in Ontario, CA instead of Ontario, CN...

Wish I had a scope good enough to make a trade like that. I'd make do with my Fluke 123 for all further time on the planet!
But I jest. Actually, as drool-worthy as it is, it would be a piece I couldnt afford to own. Mostly in terms of responsibility to it - it'd end up with more hours on the tubes at idle than listening, like all my other tubes amps did - somehow.
A raspberry PI with a class D amp hat is more my style. Stays on 24/7 with zero ramifications, music when I click a button on a screen -

Those interested will read the whole thread linked to in the original post.
Think of this as one of a limited series of 200 only Ferraris made in the tube amp industry. Unsurpassed for its approach to cost-no-limit design; its weight and also price back in 1975 are a shear proof of that:
ARCDB
When I listen to it I am at odds as to if I should sell it. But then keeping it would mean turning my hobby into babysitting one (THE) amp instead of enjoying many build iterations with SS amps. The huge size and the industrial look are also a deterrent.

I have no objection for price
not that I'm buyer, not that I'm overly fan of ARC, but that's series piece of hardware , with historic value
if you're fan, 6K is fair
some ppl are buying hobby fishing gear with that budget
