Amp Price?

Post by nimhb »

Hi all-
Been doing some lurking and reading.

I have a 70's, not sure of the exact year, master volume volume push/pull, 100 watt twin which seems to still be all original except for one of the speakers Fender Twin Reverb. Have been thinking of doing a cap job, but have also been thinking of selling to fund a project amp better suited for my needs than the twin.

I know this is a very subjective question, but figured you could give me some good insight and an idea of what is fair amount to expect for selling the amp?

Thanks!
Chris

I've seen them go for between $650-1000.

Thanks Tom. What do you are deciding factors in high to low?

Thes make really good Clones - why don't you convert it? I could do faceplate and boards for you or just email you the jpg templates. I did one of these and put EV 12s in it, tank reverb, fx loop etc and it sounds as good as any "real" Dclone. With all those control holes there is almost no drilling needed.

You have my attention. What do you mean? I am very new to this amp building/modding/overhauling/converting stuff. Have done no amp work. I have been reading, asking questions, and have watched a Gerald Weber dvd in anticipation of doing an overhaul on an amp I have and would like to do a build or 2. I was thinking of selling this because it really too much amp for what I need. But....tell me more 8)
