Was this worth $400? and more treasure found.

Post by randalp3000 »

:twisted: :D

this stuff walked into the shop today, the downside is I had to take a Cyber Twin in on the deal.

And now the old guy is saying he has a sunburst he bought off a buddy in '68 that he might want to sell. Time to start playing the lottery.

My desire to say, SOB! Bastard! Is winning over my desire to say, Congratulations!

Those amps are too clean. I think it's a hoax. Are they inkjet prints on foamcore?

the big one's a bit rough and the plastic is gone from the handle.

they do work however which is good and I haven't even checked out the tubes yet, some weird old glass I'm sure.

All three are beauties.

I believe the knobs on the Comet are not even close to original, which is too bad. , as they are hard to find. Check the thread on the Silvertone knob -- I believe that is the type.

Did you get the footswitch the the Epi's?

I think we got both footswitches.

I have a Futura from the same era with the same knobs as the Comet, unfortunately that amp is missing one knob also. arg

Also got some more info on the Les Paul and it might be a Jr. Still cool and I hope it shows up soon.

As long as they are all original your looking at around $250 for the one on the right. $375-650 for the champ. And $350-700 depending the year and speaker of the one in the back.

Nice score.

I saw Leslie West on youtube a while back talking about how you can't buy an original LP jr for a decent price any more. I think he says he used to find them in pawn shops!
