Looking for a "bulletproof" old tube amp for guitar or harp? Check these out - LOL! Be sure to check out the neat video sample of the guy playing a right handed Strat upside down (Albert Collins style). Cool stuff.
BTW - this guy has 150 of these amps available. And I thought I was a gear hound.

Teisco/Norma/Prestige 2 pickup electric in OKC for $150
These little Teisco's were sold under several labels and all in all they are neat little playable vintage guitars. Better than a Tulip by most measures - from the looks of it this may even have been a Silvertone model.

1957 Hofner Senator in Coeur D'Alene ID for $400 w/ SKB Case
Here is a seller offering a deal on a very nice vintage guitar from a respected company manufactured during the "Golden Age" (1955-1965). A Hofner Senator single pickup electric in nice shape with a few "upgrades" done to improve the modern playability. It looks to be in nice shape and has the original Hofner pickup which is a big plus. he also saved the old tuners and the pickguard (which should add to the looks).
These Senators are similar in some ways to the Gibson ES-120T. Definitely worth taking a look if you like older style hollow body electrics. These are highly prized by collectors who know the Hofner Senator and Club 40 models are closely associated with the early Beatles since both John Lennon and George Harrison owned and played them. John Lennon's 1958 Hofner Senator was sold at a Christie's auction in 2009 for over $300K.

Nice Hofner Senator thin archtop guitar with single pickup. Late 50's early 60's vintage, as near as I can figure I believe its 1957. Good intonation and playability. Pickup and controls re soldered and wired so there is no ground hum common with older electric guitars. Refitted with Grover tuners and tune-a-matic bridge. Came with Gibson tuners which will be included. I have the original pickguard and hardware for such and will include these as well. Hard shell SKB case. Really nice tone both acoustic and amplified. Has dings and scratches for a guitar that's been played and of this vintage. I have too many guitars and I don't play this one much. Would like to sell to someone who would play it.
$400.00

This is an early 1960s Silvertone model 1420L Stratotone dual-pickup electric guitar, made in USA by
Harmony of Chicago, Illinois. The lightweight hollow body is a single-cutaway style
similar to a Les Paul model, and is completely bound with ivory-white binding. Neck is straight with 20 clean,
undamaged frets, and has dot inlays in the fretboard. Headstock has all original
fully functioning open-gear tuners, and the white Silvertone script is still very clear. Playing
action is low and easy with an adjustable bridge in place. The two pickups are single-coil type,
providing authentic 1950s sound, each with its own set of tone and volume controls. A
sliding three-position selector switch offers the player the options of using the more
treble-sounding neck pickup, the deeper-sounding bridge pickup, or both together for the
loudest, and most twangy sounds. Pickup plates, string pegs on tuners, and tailpiece are
chrome. This particular model instrument was featured in the 1961 Sears catalog.
The guitar's tuxedo style shows in the white pickguard surrounded by, and in contrast with, the
larger area of black body finish, and also contrasting with the black control knobs and
switch tip, making it visually similar to a man's formal black-tie tuxedo suit.
This guitar is in excellent original condition which is exceptional, considering it is now more
than 50 years old. There are very few nicks and only superficial scratches or edge wear from
having been played. Everything on this instrument is very clean and in fully working condition,
and is priced at just a fraction of what is comparable elsewhere. Original hard case included.
Now only $499 cash or best reasonable offer, serious offers only.
NO EMAILS please. Call Pete at 5 0 5 - 2***-****, or Joyce 5 0 5 - ****-****

Custom Kraft 900 aka Supro Trojan tube amp in Wichita falls TX for $200
Okay - here is a very interesting find - this seller is offering up a Custom Kraft tube combo for $200. This little monster is pretty much a Supro Trojan with a different distributors label. Compare pics of this Custom Kraft amp with a model Supro S6616 Trojan from about 1965 or 1966 and you'll see it is the same amp. - JC

Custom Kraft Model 900 tube combo amp from the 60's in good shape given it's age. Everything on this amp works like when it was new. No issues. It has 2 high inputs, one low input, volume, tone, tremolo speed & intensity. I do not have the footswitch for it that turned the tremolo on & off. Tube setup is 1 12AX7 for preamp, 1 12AX7 for the tremolo, 1 6V6GT and 1 5Y3GT for power tubes. Very low wattage amp. The back was removed at some point, making it an open back combo & I don't have the back for it. Custom Kraft was made by Valco and Magnatone back in the 60's, so I'm not sure which one this is. Price is $200 cash or I'll trade for guitar gear of equivalent value. Call or text Jerry at 940-***-****
