Tom — I paid $125 for mine in 1985 & it’s gone up some due to it’s worth as a studio amp – low watts & simple circuitry & it’s use as a guitar or bass amp. The highest $’s I’ve seen were $550 — I haven’t seen 1 for sale in a long time tho — Thanks –JB

James Baydarian,

Anyone know what the value of these amps are now?

Tom,

Just out of curiosity what research have you done to come up with the 2500/3000 number? I’m not disputing your claim at all and actually think it’s more likely than 500 to 600 but you didn’t site any sources or provide your research methods for coming up with that data either unless i missed it

John Mohler,

Andrew — Was just looking again @ our conversation & while you disagree w/#’s this rarity(or not) has never had a correlation to worth — as Zach clearly states. It’s worth more than the $125 I paid for it 30 years ago it’s relative low worth has never been something anyone disputed.It is a great guitar/recording/studio amp that I use w/an SRC Crossover — JB

James Baydarian,

actually I’ve just looked back at Zach’s article and he says “I’ve seen reports of around 500 or so being produced.” No mention of research, so I’ll stick with my findings at least for now. Around 2500 made.

Andrew Waugh,
