Excellent condition Fender Champion 600 amp, circa 2012.

This is not a stock 600.

It has the $304 (that's for the parts only w/o the upgraded Weber speaker and NOT including shipping)!! It's kind of a tricky process...) Mercury Magnetics 600 upgrade kit installed (By Billy Yates) and comes with optional cover. At a point in time in recent history something on the PCB in the amp went bang. Luckily I'm associated with one them PhD level electrical engineers and now it's all better again and working perfectly - maybe better than before. The 6" Weber speaks for itself. Tubes: Preamp: Metal envelope 6SJ7 Power: Metal envelope 6V6 Bias: Cathode Biased Rectifier: Metal envelope 5Y3. 5 watts.

Standard blurb: Fender Champion 600 Features:

Tube
Output: 5 watts
Speakers: One 6", 4-ohm Special Design driver with ceramic magnet
Channels: One (with High- and Low-gain Inputs)
Tube Preamp and Tube Power Amp (One 12AX7 tube; One 6V6 tube).
High-gain and low-gain inputs
Hotter preamp circuit than the 1950 original for warm natural overdrive when turned up
Single volume control
External speaker output
Brown and blonde vinyl covering; vintage-correct 1950 "two-tone" cosmetics
Leather strap handle
Red jewel pilot light
Controls: Volume
Covering: Vintage-correct 1950 "two-tone" cosmetics

$475 clear to me shipped CONUS

Here's a link to a new version of about the upgrade: https://www.mercurymagnetics.com/?s=champion+600&post_type=product

This amp does include the upgraded speaker that used to be included with the upgrade package.

It would be fairly cheap and simple to put a tweed-era-style circuit board in this thing.
