Valco made Montgomery Ward tube head in SF bay Area for $220


Uncommon but probably great sounding tube head in SF bay area.  Seller says 80 watts with four 6V6 but that sounds a little generous. More like 30-40 watts (think AC30 if tubes are in Class A not push-pull) - however there is a good chance this amp can also take 6L6 tubes (cathode Bias?  Fixed?) so you'd have to check but either way it is a heck of a deal.  As it is I bet if you crank it up it sounds like Sweet-Mother-Of-God tube crunch.   There may be a diode rectifier in this one.  

Note that this is a real P-T-P amp (there is no tag board) versus simply hand-wired.  Don't make em like this anymore.  Also Note: This is Montgomery Ward not Airline - just a branding issue but would matter to some. - JC

1972 Montgomery Ward brand, Valco made tube amp head. 80 watts, 4 6V6, 3 GE 12AX7 (vintage).

This head is in pretty good shape for it's age. Two channels, both work and sound great, 4 inputs,

panel lights don't come on, but I haven't checked the bulbs. All point to point, hand wired.

This model is w/out trem or reverb, comes w/ two-prong plug.




- Harmony H410 Tube Amp In St. Louis Mo Area For $125
Like I said in the earlier post (see below) I would buy and sell these amps all day long at this price.  This H410 has a little more oomph than the H303A but overall a very similar little tube amp.  Note:  There is no pic on the listing...

- Silvertone 1484 Tube Head In Seattle Wa For $300
It's just the head - no cabinet or speakers but this one looks pretty nice.  Sounds like it needs a bulb ($1 part) one or two new 12**7 tubes - not a big deal.  Check it out: ************************************ Vintage Tube Amp (Kirkland)...

- 1967 Airline Valco 100 Watt Tube Head In Oregon For $200
This looks similar to a GVC-9058 but only has 6 knobs so it may be a guitar/bass head - but no matter what it is if it has 4 x 6L6 output tubes it is a monster! The welelr says 50 watts but unless he is wrong about the tubes it would be 100 watts. ...
