This is a good price for this low wattage tube amp - and he's already replaced the caps and added a "isolation transformer" (yippee!)

Here's a cool & unusual small guitar amp with its own sound unlike anything else. Made in about 1964 with a 6" speaker and 3 tubes (35W4, 50C5 & 12AU6). Doesn't sound like a Fender, Vox, Marshall, Orange, Mesa or any other well-known brand, but it has a character all its own: kinda gritty, tubey and very cool. Would make a great blues/harp amp. Nice clean tones, and overdrives very well at medium-low volume, perfect for home practice & recording. About 3-5 watts output, with 2 inputs, volume & tone controls. Put a pedal in front and it screams without making your ears bleed...
All the electrolytic caps have been replaced and I've added an isolation transformer & polarized plug. I've also made it so you can swap the speaker for an 8" if desired. It's in very good condition for its age, with the original grill "cloth" which is more like a sheet of tightly woven rattan with a diamond texture. It's pretty quiet, with no unusual hum or crackle.
If you're looking for something different, or just a good-sounding tube amp for home, recording or even your kid, check it out, you won't be disappointed!
