All amps have been recently serviced and are guaranteed to be in working condition. Shipping by UPS ground, within continental USA only. No amps in stock at the present time.
A pair of 10-inch ceramic types, maker unknown, as there is no speaker code or other identifying information. I suspect they are of Korean origin, produced in the early Eighties. Like new, would be good replacements for most small amps fitted with a single ten, or an amp with room for both. $40 plus S&H
A single vintage University Sound 6-inch diameter horn, Model MIL, 8 ohms with 3-bolt adjustable mounting bracket. It has a Stromberg-Carlson decal on the inner lip of the cone and the bracket is embossed with "University Loudspeakers, White Plains New York, Made in USA". Some paint drops and scuffs, but still pretty fine looking. Probably Fifties era, when they made stuff to last. $15 plus S&H

Early Sixties Japanese import, made back before they had a good handle on neck construction. The original bolt-on neck had a truss rod, but that didn't prevent permanent bowing, and it was replaced with another made by the same outfit (Teisco), but with only a "steel reinforced neck" sticker on the headstock. Guess what? The replacement bowed too, though not as badly as the original, and this axe is cool for slide. Along the way the cheesy original bridge disappeared, so an upgrade Ibanez tune-o-matic style was installed. The body is the original gold sparkle finish with the wildest fake tortoise shell pickguard ever. One single coil pickup (white) with tone and volume controls - this is a prime candidate for the "Hound Dog Taylor Tribute Axe of The Month" award! Sounds better than you would expect. Comes with a funky chipboard case, plus the original neck, in case you want to hang it on the wall or do a heat treatment. $75 plus S&H
Late Sixties Harmony Model H010 Monterey mandolin, an A Style type with an arched solid spruce top. Back and sides are laminated maple. Sunburst finish, bound top, original black pickguard and a new upgraded compensated rosewood bridge make this a fine instrument, visually and tonewise. New hard shell case. $250 plus S&H
Mid-Forties Electromuse six-string lap steel, cherry wood body w/clear lucite fretboard, white position markers and fret lines, separate white tone and volume knobs, massive bridge plate with beautiful chrome pickup engtraved with "EYE-BEAM Electromuse string pickup, Chicago USA" (Looks like a high-end DeArmond to me, sounds like it too!) Original Kluson gears with replacement black buttons, Electromuse logo silk screened on headstock. Some scratches on back, front looks new, plain looking but with awesome sound. Comes with original falling-apart fake alligator chip case, fixable with good old duct tape. $200 plus S&H
