I pulled my old Fender Deluxe out of storage after 20 years of not playing and decided to look on line and see if it is worth anything. Appears to have a nice value range and as I inspected inside found the original paper lane with the number 49 written on it. I would like to get the inside cabling fixed up and check out the fittings of the tubes and decide what need to be fixed, if anything (it plays pretty well with occasional static bursts as it gets going). BUT where do I go to have a nice vintage item like this washed and waxed? Also where do I go to ascertain the actual value?

GG...If you want a good appraisel, go to Gruhn Guitars on the web and ask for a written eval. You will have to send them pics but they should give you a good price eval. As for repair or your wash and wax, depends on where youlive and whether you are willing to ship it or if you plan to have the repairs if any done local (I recommend local only for such an amp) and make sure you are very specific about exactly what you want them to do and just as importantly what you DON'T want them to do.
