Michael, I think the LTD is the best amp Peavey has ever made for steel guitar. That speaker should sound good too. Price should be according to condition of amp and if it has no issues. You can do a search to sorta see what they have sold for.

I'm editing my post to see which LTD you are referring too. I'm speaking of the old 70's LTD.

I've heard of Session 400 LTD, LTD and Nashville 400. Never Nashville 400 LTD...
I guess I need to get out more...

THANKS FOR THE REPLY,THATS WHAT I WAS HOPING TO HEAR.COSMETICALLY IT IS VERY CLEAN, JUST A SMALL SCUFF ON THE BOTTOM. THEY ARE ASKING $400 WHICH SEEMS TO BE ABOUT THE NORM. THEY SAY ITS PUTTING OUT 300 WTS, SEAMS LIKE ALLOT FOR JUST ADDING A SPEAKER.I AM A NEWBEE AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL. THANKS AGAIN, MICHAEL IN SOCAL

Michal Let's be clear about this..
There is a Nashville 400....No Nashville Ltd.
There is a Session 400 & a Peavey LTD....
Also a Session 400 Limited.
Hope this helps

Is this the amp you are talking about? If it is, this is the amp I was referring too. Great steel amp and if in good shape, $400 a fair price.

Henry's amp looks exactly like mine. Bought it new about '77. Hated it with the factory JBL, which eventually blew up. It sat for decades until last summer when I pulled the JBL and replaced it with this:

Now, with the exception of the reverb, I love this amp. Sounds just great with a RV-5 or RV-7 and the Black Widow 1501-4.

The correct moniker would be "Peavey LTD. 400." According to the original owner's manual archived in Peavey's web site, it's 200 Watts. Here's a link:

One of the best steel amps ever built. It was basically a narrower Session 400. I had a couple of them, one I bought new in 1980 and kept it until a couple of years ago. Great amps.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.
