I'm surprised that the price is so low, since that's the very definition of a museum piece. How much would a 'regular' used '65 Champ go for in the US?

Gorgeous but what's with the tube chart? It looks like some mice chewed its edges. Wonder what else they nibbled in there.

Silverfish or 'booklice' ?
I've seen it a lot on the tube charts.

You can tell your buddies at that vintage shop that the Valco-200B they have listed, isn't a Valco amp. It's a Sound Projects/Lectrolab.

Almost bought a Lectrolab a while back. 2x8 combo with a couple EL84s and trem I think. It was just over $300, like $325 or something. Can't remember why I reneged, but the cab and lack of logo didn't help the situation. I was and still am curious about the tone of a 2x8 cab, especially one that's around 50 years old!
