Kay 507 Twin Ten Special Tube amp in Riverside CA for $275




I can tell you right now that the reason nobody has bought this Kay 507 is because there are no reviews for it on harmony Central so none of the gearheads in LA know if it is decent or not. Guess what - it rocks!! The Kay 507 is a rare bird indeed - similar to a Tweed Deluxe and with a pair of original Low Wattage Jensen Alnico 10 inch speakers this amp should howl like a banshee - let the juke joint stomp begin!

Here is what the Blue Book says about this model: Kay Twin Ten Special (Model K-507) 20watt, 2 ten inch speakers, guitar combo, 7 tube chassis, two channels, rear control panel, 4 inuts (Ch 1 vol, tone, Ch 2 Vol, tone, Speed, Intensity), two tone, brown rear and light brown front, brown grillcloth with swirls, 24 in Wide x 20 in tall; Mfg. 1957-1960. (Note: According to Schematic Heaven it has four 12AX7, two
6V6GT and a 5Y3 rectifier tube).

  2. What is the "real value" of anything? The only measure we buyers are concerned with is "market value" and that is defined as "what an informed buyer is willing to pay.". Market value for this amp right now is whatever it was sold for.

  3. I've got one of these someplace, passed down in the family! Gigged with it in college in the 1980s. It would get a very scooped overdriven tone. I should find it and get it retubed.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL READERS

I am reposting items here that are listed on CRAIGSLIST throughout the USA. I am not selling any of these items and I cannot facilitate the sale of anything here - so please do not comment or post questions like "Is this still available?" or "I am interested in your guitar please call me, etc." You need to contact the seller directly by calling the phone number listed on the post or by going to the CL listing and emailing them. NEW FEATURE: Click on the title of the CL Listing inside my post to LINK thru to the original Post. If the original CL listing is deleted the item most likely is no longer available. Thanks for checking out my blog and GOOD LUCK!



Please don't call, contact, bother or harass these sellers long after their post is expired. Take for granted if the listing is over 30 days old that the guitar or amp is LONG GONE! Thank you.
