Ampeg ReverbRocket 2 in Portland area for $300

This one needs work on the reverb but the Ampeg Reverb is a fairly simple circuit - it is speaker driven so it runs off the output tranny instead of half the preamp tube - but of course it still may not be an easy fix.

This is a really cool old tube guitar amp at a great price. I have it priced so low because it's not in perfect condition. The reverb does not function. This could be an easy fix, but I haven't investigated why it doesn't work. Aside from that, this is an amazing amp. It has a great clean tone which breaks up nicely to a very crunchy distortion. It sounds jazzy at low volumes and more lo/fi/garage rock at higher volumes. It also has a unique sounding tremolo. I need to sell this quick so I'm letting it go for $300/obo. I think this amp could be left as it is or, with an extra investment, it could be brought back to its original condition. Call me at (503)200-7268 if you have questions or would like to try it out. The picture is not of my amp, it's just a stock picture I found online. If you need to see pictures of the specific amp, just let me know.

Here is a Conrad - same as a Univox, Aria or Ventura from the same era.  Early Matsumoku factory guitar.   I wouldn't expect too much from the pickups - but you never know.  Sometimes these are nice bitey P90 type single coils - sometimes not.

1968 Fender Vibro-Sonic amp in Sacramento for $700

This is considered to be THE Pedal Steel Guitar amp - just check out that JBL-D130!   Louder than a rainy Sunday at Chuck-e-Cheese and more headroom than you will ever be able to use. 

Doesn't have the drip edge since he replaced the grill butsure does look nice and clean. Oh and SKip Simmons is known to be a great amp tech so you can be sure it is in excellent shape.

I wouldn't plan on the seller being able to ship this amp anywhere - probably just for local folks.

Vintage1968 Vibro-Sonic Reverb Amp. Dating is based on Fender.com method of dating the engraving on the power transformer, (transformer code EIA 606-740). This amp is really LOUD and CLEAN! It uses the same exact circuit as the Twin Reverb. Uses four (4) 6L6 power tubes but is rated hotter than the Twin at 135 Watts RMS! Amp has the original JBL D-130 15" speaker. Grille was recently replaced so you won't see the metal edge that came on the grilles of amps from this era. This amp was just given a clean bill of health by amp doctor Skip Simmons. On new casters. Also has new Fender cover. Wonderful full tone- specially voiced for steel guitar players, but plenty of highs for screamin' lead players too. This amp may be vintage, but it needs to be working in a band. Don't spend $1500 for a re-issue '65 Twin, check this amp out. It's more amp and a much better value. And did I mention that it is LOUD!

Airline 62-9012A in Dallas Texas area for $175

These are cool little amps - about 5 or 6 watts - similar to a Fender Champ but different.  This is a Danelectro design and uses a 6x4 ror similar rectifier tube combined with a fairly small output transformer - the result being - earlier breakup with a strong input signal (like a Humbucker pickup). 

Don't expect Marshall like tones out of the little 6 inch speaker but these make great little recording and bedroom amps.  Looks all original except it may be missing the rear panel (they may have it and just not in the picture.)

Old Kraftsman Barney Kessel Triple in Cinicinatti (Northern KY) for $350

I just highlighted a Blonde Maple versions of this same guitar that was $500 and now here is a RED one with a Bigsby for only $350 - Cripes!  These are so cool looking and not a very common guitar.  The Old Kraftsman (i.e. Spiegel Catalog) logo reduces the collector factor a smudge but these are more "fetish" guitars than serious collectibles anyway.  The playability of these is a bit suspect - I wouldn't attempt to do a whole set with one unless you are a setup wizard - but they are soo cool to have on the stand behind you and to use for one or two songs in a set (just like having a real Dano or vintage Silvertone back there).  the Kleenex box pickups make this more desireable than one with speedbump pickups (at least IMHO).  

Oh and look... it's red!

Vintage Old Kaftsman semi-hollow body guitar; double cut-away, triple pick-ups and a flaming red finish. I bought this guitar in a pawn shop in the early 80's because it looks so friggin' cool, although I never really played it that much. I have no idea how old it is and I've never seen another like it. It is similar to a Kay Speed Demon (circa1964) but with different pick-ups, headstock and a Bigsby-style tremelo.

The body is in good shape with a few of the usual minor dings...the only decent scratch is on the back and less than 3/4" (looks white in the photo). All the pick-ups work and the action is totally playable, although the neck and intonation need a little adjusting.

1976 Seville (Hondo) L5 Jazzbox in LAs Vegas for $120

This Seville looks just like the Hondo II L5-CES jazz box from the late-70's and early 80's so those should be DiMarzio pickups (which came stock on the Hondo).  Few and far between Japanese made top fof the line Jazzbox of that era - note - these are big heavy guitars with serious woody Jazz tone.  Quite the deal.

Airline 62-9013 15 watt tube combo amp in Detroit for $250

Regular readers of my blog know how I feel about this particular amp.  IMO if you had to choose only one non Fender-Marshall-Vox amp from the 1960's then it would be this Airline amp or it's similar Danelectro built cousin the Silvertone 1482.  These amps growl and crunch at fairly low volume and are great for recording.  Most players are amazed when they plug in and hit a chord - even without an overdrive in front.

BTW - it is hard to tell from the photo but it appears this one may have the original Jensen P12Q speaker.

Airline (Kay) Barney Kessel electric in Cincinatti for $500

Not an amazing deal but a nice looking guitar for a decent price.  The Barney Kessel is the most collectible of the Kay's but this is the later 1960's version - not the earlier single cut Kelvinator model - though it does have the Kleenex Box pickups.  The pickguard is missing but that just shows off the nice blonde figured mpale top.  These are not stellar players but they are nice playable vintage USA guitars and continue to go up in value over time.

Kay Semi-hollow project guitar in NJ for $75

This speed Demon single is only missing a pickup and pots and an output jack.  These are completely hollow guitars so it wouldn't be too hard to work on if you have some dexterity and patience.  I rewound two pickups and remounted them myself in a similar speed demon TRIPLE - and that one had 6 control pots and 3 pickups - cripes now that was a pain in the a**.  This one is a much more simple project.

If I had this guitar neck and body I would personally find a decent (old or new) single P90 pickup with a volume and tone pot and top mount it on this bad boy.  That would make this very similar to a 1960's Gibson ES-125TC which is one of my favorite old vintage hollow bodies.  Serious blues crunch and mojo.

For sale I have a Kay "I think the model is called the Speed Demon" hollow body guitar. Pretty rare guitar - does not have half the bridge or any electronics - this model complete sells between $325 and $500 on ebay. Comes with what is in the picture "besides the carpet haha". Has the original tuners on it and they seem to work fine. I believe the wood is mahogany with a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard. Dark tobacco sunburst color - worn with some finish cracks "has the cool old finish that cracks - not modern polyester". I think it is from the 50's but it could be 60's.

I have a Silvertone 1484 tube amp head.

The jewel light doesn't work, but everything else is functional.

The preamp tubes and power tubes are fairly new.

The tubes that power the reverb and tremolo should be replaced.

ELK vintage tube head and cabinet in Orlando FL for $275

These ELK's are high quality vintage Fender copies made in Japan in the 1950's and 1960's.  They have a dogged following and usually the ones that have survived this long are serious keepers.   These used better components and overall construction than most of the Japanese amps of the period - they were made to be used by pro players in Japan but they occasionally also found their way to Europe and the USA. 

This one looks like a Fender Bassman copy though I suppose it could be a Showman circuit as well.  It just might have that "blow your mind" type tone as quite a few of these old ELK's have been described.

Note: I wouldn't count on this seller being open to the idea of shipping this amp anywhere (what would you expect?) so I am sure this will go to some lucky local Olando FL area buyer.
