What's on the wall
“I walk in to the store and I notice several amps on the sales floor that are Ristrom brand.”
“" Even better for my Vintage Fender amp circuit!”
“Repair came in way below quoted price and it works great.”

From the reviews
I stopped in looking for a somewhat unusual guitar amplifier tube. When I asked about the particular tube they responded, "I'm not sure if I have any new ones but I've got some 50 year old ones?" Even better for my Vintage Fender amp circuit! A local shop to buy vintage gear at very reasonable prices!
Mark is awesome. You have to have an immense amount of trust to hand one of your babies to someone. Luckily, he is as good as it gets. Most fair pricing around and the most important part.... A fountain of knowledge that extends beyond just amps.
I was referred to Ristrom by a very trusted guy at Rochester Music Mart. Drove an hour to get there. I walk in to the store and I notice several amps on the sales floor that are Ristrom brand. He builds his own braof amps.
Amazing store this man is a serious audio file and a professional. I highly recommend him. You must stop in and see a shop if you enjoy music
Selling or trading gear at Ristrom Amplifiers
Ristrom Amplifiers comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
