YES,  Many years ago when I lived in Michigan I met Dave West a couple of times.  I've never tried the Fillmore, but I did try the West Grande.  Nice amp.  I had to make a choice between a West or a Sunn Sentura II...I chose the Sunn cuz it had reverb. I also met Mark Farner when he was with Terry Knight & the Pack...(Pre GFRR days).  Mark worked for Dave a little bit helping him build speaker cabs before he ( Mark ) really hit it big.

West Labs is still in business...in a small way.  Check out the web site.
