Custom Kraft (Valco) Model 880 1960's Tube amp in Vegas for $400


This Las Vegas area seller is offering a Custom Kraft 880 "Dyno Blast" Guitar Amp for $400.  I have not personally played one of these (they are fairly rare) but I recall from a post I read that this was the top of the line Custom Kraft guitar amp in 1967.    It's not the same as some of the smaller Valco amps since it is an AB Push Pull Circuit - but I expect that the Solid State Rectifier would give this amp a good deal of punch without the usual sag associated with a tube rectifier. If you are all about the "sag" then this might not be for you - but I tend to like very sharp attack in my amps.  If I want sag I use my Magnatone M10a (now that is one saggy amp LOL.)

This exact amp was sold for $599 by a California dealer a little over a year ago (I recognized the wacky purple background in the photos).  This should make a nice studio amp, though with its pair of Vintage RCA 6L6 tubes it probably gets pretty darn loud (similar to a Silvertone 1484).  - JC

1960's Teisco ET-200 in Cincinatti area for $85

This seller is offering a mid-60's Teisco ET-200 for the low price of $85.  There are several versions of the ET-200 an this is one of the better ones, including the Mahogany (multi-piece)body, chunky  "thumbnail neck" and the glorious Teisco 4x2 headstock.  These stratocaster-style pickups also sound pretty good.   Don't expect to do any shredding or power chords on this one but great for Indie, garage, and alt-weirdo-punk rock.    - JC
