A young man showed this pic to me and is asking for the value of this sweet amp. It's spent it's life inside a plywood case someone built for it. He said it works as good as it looks. So, I'm looking for some expertise in it's value.

This one seems very similar - in fact, at first I thought it was the same amp. I'd say that price ($1500) is probably pretty close. These are very sought-after amps by blues harp players as well as guitarists.

There's one on Ebay, not nearly as clean, for $1075.
