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).

so what is the real value?
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
