I've only seen one of these for sale used and the fella who had it thought it was made of gold. I do wish I had known about musicians fiend blowing them out though. I would have sure picked up at least one in one of the colors I don't have.
After all it would have been a brand new amp. Other than the depth of the head and cabs too every thing really looked good just like the old two hundred series. Maybe some day some one will try it again. I have seen them used in lots of modern day videos too and that alone would probably make them sell at least moderately well.
They could probably could have been very cheaply made in china and saved on the labor cost even Vox has now switched all of its British production and moved the entire Vox line to china and korea.
I just got a korean Hofner clone and its nice. I could've even bought the parts and assembled it myself for that kind of money. Its not like its junk either the thing plays and sounds good. Too bad the latest Kustom venture did'nt fine a way to make it.
