Maybe a few hundred bucks depending on the speaker. The tolex looks clean but the amp itself looks to be in pretty rough shape, with missing knob caps and damaged lettering, which speaks to its service life.

It's not a pedal steel amp necessarily but a decent enough general purpose guitar amp that someone can make use of, especiallyif the reverb is sweet. List it for what you feel is fair and see what comes of it.

Good luck.

The speaker is a Celestion G12H 100. It's not mine. The guy wants $350 CDN for it.

I'd do some internet research to really try to nail down the date of manufacture.
But just throwing ideas out there that are welcome to be shot down......

This looks like a "later" one, maybe made a few years after initial offering. That still means that it's probably from the 80's or 90's.
From what little I know about them (to be verified by somebody else)............
It should have an all FET discrete transistor preamp.
The reverb driver is probably op amp.
The power amp is some kind of special design transistor current mode configuration whose name escapes me right now.

These have become sort of "collectible" in some circles, mostly with the 80's rockers.
They were supposedly used on a few really successful 80's metal albums, most notably from Def Leppard and Dokken. Pantera also used Randalls, but I don't know if they used this particular model or not.
As for any clean sounds or how it sounds with a PSG, I am of no help there.

Price? I have given up trying to figure out the used market for gear.
People near where I live in LA seem to be asking insane prices for stuff on Craigslist, and the items will sit on there for months.
And......some items which used to be DIRT CHEAP (how about $35-$50 for used Peavey Bandits?) are now through the roof.
I guess that this is a prime example of the difference between what somebody WANTS for an item, versus what they can actually GET for it.

Thanks for the replies. I have no intention of buying it, I just thought someone might be interested.

Does the amp still work? Reason being if it still works you might have a pretty decent amp.
Just my humble opine
