George,
Silver faced Champ amps are the bargain kings. They sound great with guitars or harps and can be modified to the old tweed circuitry if desired. They will hold their value & always be in demand. Last year I had my choice of 4 different silver faced Champs at a store in Dayton Ohio. As I recall, they were priced between $130 -150. I plugged them all in and picked out the best sounding which also was in the best shape. I would think some these would still be available. If you or anyone else is interested in one of these amps I would be glad to put you in touch with the store or even pick one out for you. Just hate to see these great harp amps gathering dust.
My little brother owns a music store in Georgia and had a tweed Champ for sale at $550 and a black faced Princeton for $350. He has a web site for his store "Vintage Music" which can be reached thru his auction site guitarauction.com OK, I'm related to the guy, I just have to figure out some way to profit from this blatant advertisement.
