Depending on the condition a whole lot more. You it's even hard to get a vintage Champ Amp for 300 bucks. Do some research on Google, eBay, Craigs List etc. Don't go to a dealer, they usually just rob you.

Yes, and get yourself a Vintage Price Guide, it's seriously helpful for buyers and sellers.

I'll give you $500, sight unseen! Don't pay any attention to what a dealer tells you about the value of these amps. They're NOT that common, They're HIGH in demand and, if it's in good condition, it's worth a whole heck of a lot more than $300.

Someone is trying to make a hefty profit at your expense my friend... The Head & cab together is very desirable indeed. Even in the recession we are in, that amp is a steal at over a thousand bucks!

Keep it, and hand it down to your Grandkids, so that they may (one day) marvel at its pre-historic tube tone deliciousness!

seriously, that is a cool amp! I was born in 1964 and even though I am not that cool, I do know what cool sounds like...

I have a blackface (Dec. '64) Bassman that I really like, but I would love to, one day get a blonde one such as yours!

Hey Larry, that amp appears to be a model 6G6-A or 6G6-B. It has 4(12Ax7's ) and 2(5881's) and no rectifier tube, right? Very collectible ! Very cool !
