Guitar
These WEST branded Amplifiers show up every once in a while and usually only in Michigan. Dave West was an amp builder out of Flint Michigan who made amps for guys like Dick Wagner (lead guitar with Lou Reed & Alice Cooper) and Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad back in the mid 60's and early 70's.
This seller seems to know little about this piggyback setup. Dave West was a hi-fi aficianado who used Dynaco parts so the amps have very hi-grade specs. I think these amps may use KT66 or KT88 tubes. If that is a West cabinet then it is likely to have at least one JBL D130F or D140F speaker since Dave West was a JBL distributor in Michigan at the time. He later used the EV SRO speakers but this looks like an earlier model to me. West still makes and modifies tube amps and has always had a good rep in the biz.
I doubt the seller will know much about this gear (he doesn't even seem to know that the bottom is just a speaker cab) but you can google West Amps and Dave West to find out more after you call the listing.

- Vintage Gibson Ga-50 Tube Combo In Los Angeles For $275
Non-working but ooooohh so rare Gibson from the old "coke bottle" tube days. This amp is at least 55+ years old and whatever is wrong with it can probably be fixed by a reasonable tech. As long as it isn't the transformers you are in good...
- Fender Tweed Blues Jr. Amp In St. Louis For $325

- Gibson 1959 Ranger Ga20t In West Hollywood Ca For $400
These old Rangers are some of the best sounding of the early Gibson amps - right up there with the Valco and Gretsch amps of the same era and just a tad behind the Fender Tweed Deluxes. The difference is a 1959 Tweed Deluxe will easily run you 3X as...
- Nice Kay Hollow Body Electric In Nashville For $250
The seller says this needs a truss rod adjustment and this may be one of the old style "threaded" trussrods that you turn bin inserting a bolt and using a wrench - either way this one looks to be in nice shape and all original - that's a big plus....
