I have an old Sho-Bud amp. seventies vintage, with a 15" JBL speaker that appears to be in good shape and sounds good but with a few battle scars on the case Crying or Very sad was wondering if someone could tell what the going price is for such an amp.

How much it's worth, depends on the model. Does it have sliders for controls? I think that would be the least valuable Sho~Bud amp. The christmas tree amps, with the light up control panel, fetch more. And then there are the single channel models, which I guess are somewhere in between...Jerry

Its not the slider or the christmas tree, It has all round knobs and two plug-ins, there are no model numbers I can find on it. some one has used a metal stamp to put 0659 on the chassis. Do you know the dollar range they sell for?

Charles, It sounds like you have a Sho-Bud S-15 black face combo amp. It's all solid state and about 70 watts. I would say that it would sell for $250 to $450 depending on condition and whether or not it is a Cain circuit (and that is hard to tell).

A really clean single channel,(knob type),made during the Kenneth Cane era, could easily bring $550.00 or more. I have turned down that offer for mine. My Sho-Bud had incredable tone until I was forced to recone the speaker. It's never been as good since, so it sets at home in a corner. I now play a modified Nashville-112, but I'm still looking for my old Sho-Bud tone in a new modern amplifier.

Thanks a lot, I think I will hold on to it, who knows it may continue to go up in value. I have a N-V 112 on order, after trying it out I may have to go back to the old Sho-Bud. thanks to all who posted.
