I have an '86 Peavey Patriot and a Backstage Plus. I bought both new in 1987. The Backstage Plus has a 10 inch speaker, not a 12 inch speaker. That is one tough little amp.....I still have both and play them at home occasionally. This amp is a great bedroom practice amp. About every 2 or 3 years I give it a thorough cleaning with QD Electronic Cleaner. 37 years and never a problem with the amp or the guitar.

Thanks for the comment, @Grzz51, that's so typical of Peavey stuff to just keep on rockin' no matter how long it's been in the game! Glad you've enjoyed your gear throughout the years!

got myself a renown 400 last year for £100 in perfect condition. 210 watts of Peavey goodness

I've always wanted to play through a Renown, It's on my list of amps to pickup should the right one come by! Thanks for the comment!

I have three V-type, one full on abalone neck thru , one G- ninety, Foundation bass, Ultra 60 head and flat 4 x 12 cab

[@tjkcivic]

Nice Peavey collection! I've been looking for a G-ninety for a good price for a while, how do you like it?

Encore 65 was my first amp. Used from 1996-2007, then I got a 6505+ and used thay until 2023. I play friedman now, but only because peavey aint the same no more.

[@tjkcivic]

Awesome!! The 6505+ Comes up in Part 4 - the 2000s, so stay tuned! Thanks for the comment and reminiscence!

Question: a lot of people remember the T-60, but not too many remember the 3 pickup T-26. This was my first guitar. I've only seen 2 in the past 40 years.

[@tjkcivic]

This is true. The T-60 was the flagship and they sold a boatload because it was so versatile, but the T-26 was a rock solid guitar too, just a more traditional pickup layout and execution. I've been on the lookout for a T-26, T-25, T-27, and T-30. It seems like the T-26 and T27 are the rarest though!

[@paristhalheimer]

@@tjkcivic I cut my teeth on a sunburst T26. I sold it to get an '80s Japanese '62 Custom Telecaster (Andy Summers fan). I paid $156 in 1984. I bought it on 48th Street in NY City. I often wonder if I'd like the guitar today if I played it.
