| Can anyone give a ball park value for a 1932 Magnatone double cyclops? Of course, individual value depends on condition. A high/low ballpark for excellent condition would be a useful benchmark. Thanks in advance. |

| That is amazing! Probably the first amp ever built, by Paul Tutmarc up here in Seattle. I've only seen one, aand it is at The Experience Music Project (EMP) up here in Seattle. It's hard to value such an old device. - Jack |

| It's a resonator guitar. Built by Dobro for Montgomery Ward. |

There aren't any available through Gbase.com, Gruhn or any of the standard vintage guitar dealers. I'd call Mandolin Brothers in Staten Island and ask what they'd guess the value is.
I haven't seen any of this model in quite a while and have no idea what one would be worth.
Photos would be very helpful in guessing, though.

I've owned them before. I think they look really cool. I think it was made only for one year, same as the single screen cyclops. I think Buffalo Brothers in Carlsbad, CA recently had one. It was "shy in the voice" as they say, as most are.
