Up for sale is an ultra-rare Volu-Tone lap steel and amp set. The lap steel is in incredibly clean condition, with original chipboard case and amphenol plug (could use a new cord), 6 string, 22" scale. The model 650-P amp works, but hums loudly and definitely needs an upgrade on the crumbling original cord, along with servicing, original Rola field coil speaker in good shape.

This set requires the user to plug the guitar into the "energizing socket" to magnetize the strings. You can read more about that in these previous threads:

Due to the rarity of this set, I'm asking $1000 + shipping + buyer to pay PayPal fees. Hi-res pics available if you would like me to email them to you. Donation will be made to the forum.

All the best,

Julian
