OK, so most of the young guns of today go for uber hi-gain monsters, ala Mesa RoadKings, Rectifiers, Framus, H&K, and what not.
The Wise-old-men, go for "true" classics, 50's & 60's Bassman, Plexi's and the other handfull of real tone monsters.
The guys with class, go for a tasty boutique Carr, and Victoria, and the folk with class AND style, will look no futher than a beautifull, Celtic Amp.
Me - i have money for non of the sweet tone monsters above, and i do not like the hi-gain units either.
I want an amp to run in stereo with my Blues Jr..
I want to get as close as possible (amp wise) to the new generation of garage bands. NO NOT THE BLOODY " STROKES " . . .
. . . but more like Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (JSBX), Black Keys & even the White Stripes !
Sweaty, sexy, sleazy gritty tone - to my ears any ways !
I can get a Teisco Checkmate 25 for a reasonable price obver here !
What will a good USD price be, for one in an " 8+"-condition ???
See pic:

Wattage ? 25, perhaps ???
Tubes used ?
12 or 15 inch speaker ?
ANY INFO ON THIS MODEL VERY WELCOME !!!
THANK YOU ALL !!!
