Magnatone Custom 260 in Northern Michigan for $550

This amp may have already been sold but i just spotted the listing so here it is. Magnatone Custom 260 2x12 tube amp circa 1958-1962. Seller says that it is in great cosmetic and working condition - though there is no photo on the listing.

This would be one heck of a find if it is what he says it is.

Note; there is a phone number on the listing if you click through to the original post. - JC

All original, except the handle, 1958 - 1962 35 watt Magnatone Custom 260 tube guitar amplifier. Most famous for it's extremely musical pitch-shifting vibrato, the Magnatone 260 and 280 models have become incredibly popular for the beautiful and classic 1950′s tone. The Custom 260 has (2) heavy duty 12″ speakers, and is capable of wide tone range from resonant bass to brilliant treble with a dynamic solid middle registor for stand-out performance. The 260 and 280 were most notably used by artists such as; Robert Ward, Lonnie Mack, and Buddy Holly, and it is without a doubt one of the best vintage amps for the value.

It is in beautiful condition for a 50+ year old amplifier, tolex has minimal wear, speakers are in perfect working order, grill cloth is still like new, all channels and vibrato sound amazing.
