Possibly a Craigslist gem? Would this make a good harp amp?
"Valco circuit #6143 "REX" branded combo tube amp. Original Jensen speaker dates to 1965, so my guess is this amp was originally sold in 1966. Cabinet, tolex, grill cloth, and chrome amp chassis all look spectacular-really, almost new condition! I installed a new Fender Vibro Champ XD 8" speaker (APPROX $40 VALUE) in order to keep the great sounding vintage Jensen in tip top shape for collectors and vintage amp buffs. I am forced to offer this piece of guitar amp history for sale. Tubes are: 12AX7 (1), 35W4 (1), 50L6 (1), AND 35Z5 (1). I have a 3 prong cord installed (but not properly grounded). I ordered an isolation transformer and picked up a full wave bridge rectifier in order to correctly switch this over to a grounded 3 prong cord and these parts are included with the amp. Cabinet and Tolex in mint condition.

I don't know what he wants for this amp but one thing I would do is make sure the original circuitry is still in tact. Its not completly vintage if not. Does the original Jensen speaker come with the amp? Some guys will hack a vintage amp up pretty bad trying all kinds of mods when they should have just left it alone.
