As pristine an example as you're likely to find -- all original, right down to the snowman knobs and the OEM Oxford (which looks a mite "threadbare").

Prolly top out at around $425......

The prices for clean Champs, Vibrochamps, and Broncos seem to be climbing as of late. Perhaps the secondary market is finally firming up.

$451 is a great price. Best thing is there are plaenty of quality aftermarket parts (including good multi-section cap cans) readily available. That wasn't the case, only 15 years ago.

So, you can restore and keep this puppies running smooth well into mid-21st Century. Amazing! :D

Indeed!

Long after a brand-new "Fizz Master" bought today is busily decomposing into its molecular elements in a local landfill.

Not only are there a plethora of good cap cans and now speakers available for the Silverface Vibrochamps and champs, but the tweed champs have gotten over the $1K mark and are staying there. And with the blackfaces hitting that $700-800 barrier, these silverfaces are becoming more desirable/affordable, especially the really clean ones!
