These ELK's are high quality vintage Fender copies made in Japan in the 1950's and 1960's. They have a dogged following and usually the ones that have survived this long are serious keepers. These used better components and overall construction than most of the Japanese amps of the period - they were made to be used by pro players in Japan but they occasionally also found their way to Europe and the USA.
This one looks like a Fender Bassman copy though I suppose it could be a Showman circuit as well. It just might have that "blow your mind" type tone as quite a few of these old ELK's have been described.
Note: I wouldn't count on this seller being open to the idea of shipping this amp anywhere (what would you expect?) so I am sure this will go to some lucky local Olando FL area buyer.
