i bought this amp a few years ago for a hundred-odd pounds.
it's a blackfaced showman with two speakers in the back.
i checked out the date on the transformer and i think it's from 1964.
can't find any pictures or information about it on the net as most of them seem to be smaller.
other info:
it says it's 300w
it has a graphic equalizer panel
one input on the front one on the back
not really sure what else to write

the sound is a little crackley as i've been told it has a couple of dodgy connections, but otherwise it's in good working condition.
any idea of it's value?
any help would be great.
thanks!

Thanks for posting the picture. Unfortunately I can not give you a value of the amp but there are people on this forum that can. Give them a while and one of the amp gurus will answer. Good luck!

All of the Showman amps built in the 1960's were separate head and cabinet amps.

I own a 1966 Showman and single 15" cabinet. It does sound great.
