This is an oldie but a goodie, and a good alternative to a Nashville 112. I cleaned the pots, jacks, and Molex reverb connector, and buffed all of the chrome parts. There are some spots on some of the corners that wouldn't quite buff out, so I put those on the back. The chassis straps were pretty rusty, so I replaced them with stainless steel flanged finishing washers which work just as good, and don't cut into the Tolex. It comes with the original footswitch that switches channels and turns the reverb on and off. The reverb sounds really nice. The original Scorpion speaker was bad, so I replaced it with a new Blue Marvel.
It sounds great for guitar or steel either, and I've heard they are good for electric fiddle also. The upper back panel is missing, it wasn't on it when I bought the amp. The Tolex and grill cloth are in really good condition for the age of the amp. There is one small ding in the Tolex on the back edge near the bottom, it is visible in one of the pictures, slightly above the bottom corner. The feet on the bottom of the cabinet are also in good condition.
The price is $250.00 shipping included in the lower 48. I will take Paypal and absorb the fee.

Great little amp. NV112 killer. The fox chips (cheap and easy to install) make it even better.

I have one of these, superb small amp with a lot of clean power, plus built-in saturation, so it can double nicely for steel and lead guitar.
Good luck on the sale, Darvin.

Evidently this amp is still available, I sent Billie three messages, and haven't heard anything back.

I have one of these with a Blue Marvel and I can tell you it sounds great for steel. If you like the NV112, you'll like this amp.
In fact, a Special 130 and a NV112 in stereo sounds wonderful. But for gigs, the two together give you some real punch.
This would be a perfect beginners amp.
