 I have no dog in this fight but someone in Nova Scotia has this amp for sale for $325.00 CDN.
It's a Randall Commander 200 watts.
Early 70's vintage in SHOWROOM condition. Not one scratch or ding ANYWHERE. Everything works as new, all pots are smooth and clean, no noise whatsoever in any channel. Comes with original footswitch. 200 watts 1x15. Very very loud. MAY ALSO TAKE TRADES...TRY ME

My personal opinion is that they’re awesome steel amps. I owned the big brother —RG300. Should’ve kept it.

I’m assuming that Randall made the ZB amps. It seems like a fair price for an amp in this kind of condition.

Maybe. I thought the Randalls looked like the ZB amps.

One of the very best ever IMHO, I have owned several, all with JBL 4 ohm 15" speakers, i.e. K130/E130. Every time I let one go I end up looking for another shortly afterwards. Good stuff Maynard!

| I had a Randall Commander II for awhile and really liked it a lot for steel. Picked it up in a package sale and didn't really need it so eventually sold it. |
