Can anyone tell me what this could be worth? I am sure I will have to list all of the parts. The speakers appear to be Oxfords.(465-344) Date on the tube layout is AA763 Production 5 hand written in ink. I have not removed the tube covers on the 4 smaller tubes but the larger tubes are RCA CJ's. If this is the fifth amplifier off of the line from 1951 who sets that price? Just would like to get some input on this from you guys. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!! If you would like to email me for pictures please send request to wdwood67@yahoo.com

I'm not sure of the price, but I think you mean 1961. There is no such thing as a 1951 Bandmaster. Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Bandmaster

And what do you mean by "RCA CJ's"??? CJ is probably a date code. It should be 6L6 power tuibes you got in there.

If the amp is an AA763 with four subminiature preamp tubes it was likely made in the autumn of '63. The '61 Bandmaster would have a tube chart labeled "6G7" and have six preamp tubes as this earlier design used the "harmonic tremolo" circuit which required three dual triodes rather than the single tube of the blackface amps.
