How much for my SVT?

I've got an Ampeg SVT head I'm going to sell that's dated 7-16-74. The amp works fine and the covering has just a few rips in places. Have any idea how much these are going for these days? Thanks.

It depends on several things...most importantly...which power tubes are you currently running? How's the opver all condition (1-10 scale), do you have the cover, when is the last time it had a cap job?

My Buddy had a 69' SVT in a serious state of disreapair. (Blown Tranny's) He got $500 on ebay. I imagine a 74' in good working condition going for over $1000+.

The power tubes are Sovtek 6550 WA's. Overall condition? Beauty is is the eye of the beholder...I guess I'd give it an 8. I bought the amp used with no cover. Cap job? Everythings original other than the tubes (re-tubed about 10 years ago) and the amp works perfectley.

Thanks guys. I cleaned it up inside and out and took it to my local music store to have them sell it. I must say that for a 32 year old amp it's in pretty good shape. You should have seen the look on the sales guys face who plays bass!! :32: He looked it over, tried it out and said I could probably get $1,000.00 for it very easily! CHU-CHING!! :D Hell, if I sold it for that much and gave them 10% I'd still be making out like a bandit considering I bought it used in '79 for $300.00!!
