I believe the Matchbox 60 was one of the earlier models. I would estimate it to be worth approx. $50

Hi Chuck, from the Peavey website I used the section paraphrased below to date my Peavey. Looks like yours would be 1980.

"If the number has a two digit prefix, it may give a clue as to the date for some products.

For example, a two digit prefix such as 6A followed by five or six numerals would indicate a 70's product ("A" is for amp, "E" is for enclosure), and the prefix indicates the year. If the prefix is followed by 8 numerals, you have a 80's product and again, the prefix indicates the year.

So:

5A-12345 would indicate 1975
7A-123456 would indicate 1977
6A-12345678 would indicate 1986

After 1989, this system is no longer used, 00-12345678 means 1990 or later."

Nashville 400 would be 1990. In 1980, they were still making the Session 400, and about to introduce the Hernia 500

This gentleman from Peavey says it was released in early 80's - 2nd page, 2nd paragraph of pdf....

"In the early 1980’s, we introduced a new line of amplifiers called the City Series.
In this series, we offered two steel amps, i.e.; the Vegas 400 and Nashville
400. Both of these models were rated to produce 210 watts at 4 ohms. The
Vegas 400 featured two independent channels that allowed for the use of a
steel guitar in one channel and a fiddle or guitar in the second channel.
The Nashville 400 has been our most popular model to date and was in
production for eighteen years.

But I'll bet you $3.00 that "early 80s" doesn't extend to 1980 itself. They didn't stop the Session 400 til 82.
I can't see them having FOUR steel amps on the market at the same time (LTD, Session 400, Session 500 and the Nashville 400). That's just silly.
