My grandfather was trying to get rid of it at a yard sale, so i bought it from him. I dont use it anymore, so i was looking to sell it. This thing is a true part of history. It is a 1955 Fender Champ amp, its model number is,5e1. it is all original and major parts are stamped. it currently turns on, but one vaccum tube gets hot and the power never gets to the speaker. i figured it is a short so will definitly try and fix it before selling. If anyone has some advise or is interested, send me an email at john.collister@yahoo.com

Well - you're not suppose to advertise anything on the forum, so hopefully you want get your post pulled by the Admin.

You can check www.gbase.com for what vintage dealers are asking. If you plan on selling it yourself, expect to get 50%-75% what a dealer would ask. You should be able to list it on Craigslist with some photos and it should go pretty quickly.

While this site has stopped being updated on a regular basis, it does provide a good tracking of ebay sales. So maybe starting your asking price at $1,000 would be a fair place to start.

It does seem that the 5F1 circuit Champs are the most desirable.

Also - the Fender Field Guide is a great place for information about vintage Fenders.

Good luck
