Valco made combo amp in NYC for $300

A reader brought this listing to my attention. It's an interesting combo amp that appears to be a cross between a Supro Trojan and a Harmony 525 Bass amp. I'd suspect this was labeled as a National but I could be wrong since National used the gold and black faceplate look. It is an all tube amp but could have a solid state rectifier (as many of the Valco amps did by 1967). The Trojan had a similar chassis layout but had the Blue Supro Faceplate and Lightning Logo - a Harmony 525 was a bigger amp with 6L6 power and a 15 inch speaker but with smiliar cosmetics to this.

This is a very cool Supro amp made by Valco. It has the original Jensen 10" speaker and sounds awesome. Also has a groovy tremolo. Sounds like a Kalamazoo Model 2, only louder. Leave #.

  1. brings me to a question I have. I'm a regular reader and a nation-wide craigs junky. Sometime I come across killer deals that should be on here. How should I pass it on to you?--Chad

    The design is taking time and money (since I have little of both) but I hope to have it up soon. - Jim C
