Nice somebody is preserving the Valco line but boy, I'll bet they are expensive!

I checked, not too bad.

$500 for the little suitcase amp.

I almost bought a Chicago Blues - love the look. Then I decided to learn about and build amps instead. Nice amps.

I just received two chassis today in the mail that I had bent specifically for this type of amp. My vintage tubes are in and I'm going to break ground on this project soon. I had a Supro Spectator that I sold on ebay a few months back that barked like an old coon dog. Very nice sounding amps that I can't wait to get up and running.

Neat, but I can't watch it the guy operating the camera shakes more then an addict detoxing.

one word - Tripod.

It's nice to see people keeping the "harp" amps alive

It is nice to see this stuff staying with us. I am not sure how many guitar players would have to drop off the Earth for the tube manufacturers to take notice. The more guys making, selling, and buying tube amps the better, as far as I'm concerned.
I realize most of us on this forum do not buy a fully made amp, but I thought most all of us would appreciate what this guy has done with the business. It is kind of refreshing to be honest with you. The last thing this World needs is another Dumble builder.
Anyway.....thanks for watching and appreciating this guys work. Any of you guys even know who he is.?

I thought the video was interesting thanks for sharing.

I love old amps or new retro looking amps :)
