1960 Old Craftsman 3 pickup electric and Kay tube amp in LA area for $600






This triple pickup Kay Value Leader is badged an Old Kraftsman - that was their Speigel catalog line - and the amp is similar to a Kay 507 twin Special but with a 15 inch speaker, and a pair of 6V6 and some 12AX7 and 5Y3 tubes - this should be a pretty cool honkin, raucous, down and dirty vintage Chicago blues rig. He says the amp isn't working but unless it's been dropped off a bus or in a mojor flood it shouldn't take all that much to get it back up to speed. But don't hold me to that.

Call 818-815-9421 for the serious "amp-homos" out there: 2 6V6 power tubes, four 12AX7s, and a 5Y3. And the Quam-Nichols speaker, which dates it to 1960. (The first three digits of the speaker number are the manufacturer's code, the next three are: last digit of year, week of year. So, 028 is 28th week of '60 ....)
