I have a customer brining one of them to me this coming month. Should I do anything special while it is here?!?
Why is this?

With the condition of the handle, it's worth only $27,500, max.

Re: Why is this?
There are fun answers and serious answers. You figure out which is which.
1. It's not really for sale. OTOH, you know what P. T. Barnum said, don't you?
2. Can I sell my GA-20RVT, with condition 9/10 cab for $7,000? It only has one speaker. I think that one has 6. I divided by 6 and added a little bit because there's no vintage tape on my vintage handle.
3. Replacing the vintage handle with a replica will diminish the values, forcing a 10-folde price reduction to $4,000. I shudder to think of the effect on price of a cap job and replacing the line cord with a 3-prong. I think maybe it goes to $400?
4. When I plug in, will it teleport me back to the '60's? For that kind of money, it's the least I can hope for.
BTW, did you see the Gretch for $18,000? You should hop on that one. It's a bargain compared to the Gibby.
Oh, and you get to charge the customer an arm and a leg for the work after you show him what it might be worth. Any consideration of a handle replacement is off limits.

Re: Why is this?
I think ol' Bengt must have slipped when entering the sale price. $350.00 seems more in line. Considering his shop's location, could it have been part of the backline for fabulous hitmakers The Bay City Rollers? Well then, it would have provenance! 
$35.00 would be appropriate then.
