I have scrapped this project.

Yeah, it sounded like a bring out your dead project from the get go to me. That said I don't like working that hard. My hat's off to you for even trying.

I know how you feel ( I think ) - I have a 1956 Model 99 in large lumps - mostly complete but stuff like broken fins and some foolishly drilled holes in frame . But the big obstacle is do I spend the money - I am mostly retired now so I need to be more conservative.

At least a Dommi 99 is worth a lot more than an AJS 600 twin. Still for me I will not be starting anymore projects. I am completely retired as of 2020. Rebuilding and selling ESS amt speakers these days.

I've got a 59 AJS, Model 31, 650. It is in near perfect condition, but was last ridden about 2 years ago. I have stored it under a cover in a corner of my workshop since then.
I would like to get rid of it to a good owner. No Idea of its value, but I will take a fair price. I'm in upstate SC.
Anyone interested? Or should I put it on Ebay?

Wow. There's a name I hadn't heard in a while; didn't realize they were still around. Destroyed the Heil driver in one of mine back in the 70's while listening to J. Geils Band's "Whammer Jammer".

ESS is still around in Los Angeles.
I prefer the 70s-80s great Heil models made in Sacramento.

You need to put this in the classified section, but you will need to come up with a price first.

Off subject, but just finished some amt Monitors left side one. Right side is an amt-3 Rock Monitor.
