WTB Pass/Sony VFET

Want to buy (or trade for) a Pass/Sony VFET amplifier. Unbuilt with black chassis preferred. I use a First Watt SIT3 in my main system with Spatial M3s and it's a great match. The Pass Sony VFET should have similar sound quality albeit at a much lower power level but that's OK with me. Have an excellent condition pair of Marantz Ma-5s to trade (230 VAC). I used them back when I had electrostatics and needed a lot of low Z power. They are still in my second system, but now I use high efficiency Lii speakers and even with the MA-5's set for Class A operation 30 watts is ~20X more power than I need! (they do make a lot of heat in Class A, but a lot less in AB, which is what I normally use). Have the owner and service manual, but not the original boxes or packing materials. Let me know if you have changed you mind on the Pass VFET amp for any reason and are considering letting it go. Maybe we can both come out ahead. Thanks for reading and happy listening!
