I just purchased an all original excellent condition (pre-cbs) 1965 blackface virbrolux reverb for a little over two-thousand dollars which I believe is not a bad price. I believe the price range is from $2,500 to $3,500 depending on condition and production date.

Bought my ’63 (blackface) Vibrolux some years ago, at a garage sale, for the princely sum of $150!!! WOW!!! What a steal!!! I am a Telecaster guy who does mostly 50s and 60s Country (what I call “rhinestone suit” music), so the Vibro is obviously just the amp for me: clean and clear, great-sounding “Grand Canyon” reverb, and the most intense tremolo I have ever heard!!! No need for any stomp boxes with this baby–just plug-it-in and play. YEE-HAW!!! Look out, Buck Owens!!!
Had an Ampeg ReverbRocket w tremelo in the mid-60s and moved on to a Vox AC30 2×12 in 1969-70; now wishing I had not have ever gotten rid of them — but when you’re young and dumb and think bigger is better .. then I had a late 70s Orange OR120 trade in I bought from a music store that I worked at for $175 that didnt know what they had. it was stolen a few years later right off the truck by 2 local nappy headed youths, while we were loading in our gear into a club, right off the street into the front of the club for a gig in Chicago around 1983, came back outside to get the amp and they were already 2 blocks down the street running with the 2-ton amp head between them and disappeared into a huge condemned apartment complex above storefronts — when the cops finally got there, they refused to go into the tenement, claiming it was private property, unsafe, and nobody was supposed to be living in there — and none of the squatters living there gave honest answers to the cops either.. so all was lost. And the price it would cost me to replace those 3 amps today makes me ill !!!
