1940s
H&H portable valve amplifier - what an amazing old amp.
And it works! In fact, it sounds damn good! - went to Mick
1940s
Aussie(?) valve amp head - this thing sounds cool! Ideal
for harp or super-grungy old-school electric guitar. Probably only 5 or
6 watts, so it sure won't blow your quadbox! - went to Indra
1951
Fender Pro Amp - Here's a fantastic TV-front vintage Fender
amp from the golden period. Loads of street cred, buckets of vintage tone
from the field coil 15" Jensen, and a truly grouse investment - went
to Bill
1950s/60s
1x12" speaker box - Here's a pretty cool speaker box
with a low-powered Sydney-made MFP Hi-Flux 12" speaker, perfect for
getting the best vintage tone from very low-powered (around 5 watts) valve
amplifier heads - went to Daniel
1950s
Magnatone Model M-197-3-V class-A 6V6 amp - is this the coolest
amp you ever saw? Awesome condition, awesome vintage tone, awesome originality,
right down to its faux alligator-skin tolex and Jensen speaker! - went
to Murray
1954
Stradivarius Special Aussie-built valve low-wattage combo
with 1x8 inch Rola. Fantastic! Cool! Grouse! Real single-ended 6V6 tone
at legal bedroom (or studio) levels, or just keep it on display in your
home or studio and watch its value grow - went to Tony
1956
Premier 120 - what a classic! The ultimate harp amp? Little
Walter's ghost lives in this baby! - selling for less than the price we
paid - went to Tony
1957 Magnatone Custom 280 Double V - the legendary
amp with true stereo vibrato. A very, very rare amp in amazing original
condition. One of the world's best. 110 volt - went to a collector in
Sydney
1958
(approx) Maton valve practice/studio amp, very rare and very
sweet (looking and sounding!) amp in amazing collector-grade condition.
Goes as well as it looks, with tons of great vintage valve tone for practice
or the studio. Why bother with a Fender® Champ® when we have homegrown
tone like this? The smaller brother to the 1x12
version, with the same tolex, grille etc! - went to Martin
1958 Maton Mastersound 15-watt EL-84 amp - How cool
is this! The oldest Maton amp I've come across. Sounds great too, and
complete with its original white-cone MSP speaker! Effectively an early
Aussie single-channel AC-15 clone! - went to Derrick
1959
Maton Mastersound - a delightful very early Maton Mastersound
amplifier, with about 4 watts of glorious single-ended tone feeding the
original 8" Rola Alnico speaker. Unbelievable tone for studio work,
and incredibly collectable. - went to a collector in Sydney
1959
Maton Mastersound Tremolux 30X amp - a really nice-sounding
2 x EL-34 guitar amp. Previous long-term owner fitted 2x10" Celestions
in place of the original 3x8" drivers. Very rare amp, and very, very
giggable and COOL! - went to Shane
1959 Goldentone 30-40 watt 2x12 combo (EL-34) - as
amazing old Goldie, built before they settled on their eventual family
of amps using 6DQ5 and 6DQ6 output valves. This uses a pair of EL-34s
(and an EF-86 pre-amp) to give some really great Aussie-flavoured British
tone. We've just spent a heap on this beauty, and you have to hear it
to believe it! - went as soon as it returned from our tech to a new owner
in Sydney
1960/61
Echoplex EP-1 tape echo - this is one of the original Echoplexes,
with a very low serial number suggesting 1960 or 1961 manufacture. Fully
serviced, low mileage, a stunning example with sound to die for with its
original 110volt all-valve circuitry - went to John
early
1960s MIJ Coltone amp with tremolo and reverb - a delightful
early Japanese valve amplifier resplendent in its original purple tolex!
Has tremolo, great valve-driven spring reverb, and about 8 watts or so
feeding into the two original 6" horseshoe Alnico-magnet speakers.
Fully serviced and ready for another forty years of pure vintage valve
tone - went to Matt
early
1960s Fisonic 4-channel PA amp head - How cool is this!!??
Want to put your guitar, vocal, accordion and bass through the one amp
and speaker box? That's the sort of use this super-rare Fisonic would
have been made for back in the early 1960s in Marrickville, Sydney. 4
inputs, 2 x EL-34 valve output for about 40 watts - went to James
early 1960s Vase BGB80 Bassman amp - this has to
be one of the highest quality amps I've ever seen, and it's made here
right here in Aus! Brisbane in fact. Vase amps were well-known for their
build quality, and this extremely early version is no exception. Very
powerful sounding 80 watts, and capable of great bass as well as shimmering
highs. This amp uses a 12AU7, a 12AX7, a 7199 splitter, and two KT88/6550
output valves - went to Dean
1960s
Vedette (ZJM) amp - a very rare and awesome-sounding 40-watt
vintage Australian amp head made in Sydney in the 1960s (probably pre-'65).
Fender® blackface circuitry with British-style EL-34 output and great
transformers make this a point-to-point wired vintage tone BARGAIN! -
went to Victor
1960s Strauss Polka - a very conservative estimation
of 120 watts from the 4x7027A output valves - 21 kilos of pure vintage
Aussie amp muscle that will make a Marshall look like a wimp! And it has
tone you wouldn't believe! - went to Martin
1960s
Electravox 408R - a badge-engineered version of the Vadis
408R, which confirms my suspicion of a strong link between the two iconic
'60s Sydney brands. Fully serviced, re-valved and re-capped. A superb
amp - went to Daniel
1960s
Rex Mascot - I've had two of these through here before, and
they both sold instantly. Very highly sought for recording (and home recording)
are these single-ended true Class-A few watts of vintage Aussie tone!
- went to Stu
1960s
Vadis 601 with matching quad box - a great example of an
iconic vintage Australian (Sydney-built) guitar amplifier. The 601 is
a great amp, with good spring reverb and the best tremolo you will ever
hear! Very cool, very usable - went to Peter
1960s
Rex BA50 50 watt 2x12 speaker cab - a mint, virtually New
Old Stock, vintage 2x12 speaker cab for your 40 or 50 watt vintage valve
head. Two original vintage 8-ohm MSP speakers wired in parallel to give
a 4 ohm load, but if you prefer I can re-wire them in series to present
a 16 ohm load. Very cool, very usable - went to Tony
1960s
Goldentone 1746 40-watt Bassmaster - Goldentones are probably
the most well-known of the range of Australian vintage valve amps, and
they are finally getting the respect they deserve, as collectors and musicians
alike snap them up. This is a rough-looking but very healthy and toneful
bass amp, with the head just back from a service - went to Chris
1960s
Vadis 409 with trem and reverb - I have always been a huge
fan of Vadis amps, despite their rather plain-Jane looks, and gig them
regularly. This valve-rectified 6CA7 (EL34) amp puts out around 40 watts
into the 2x12 (Alnico Rolas!) sealed-back box for absolutely heaven-sent
vintage Aussie tone!. - went to Andrew
1960s
Goldentone with trem and reverb - a delightful early Goldentone
amp pushing out a little under 10 watts from its two 6GW8 valves into
the original 12" Hi-flux speaker. This was only ever used by a little
old lady for her electronic organ - yes a genuine 'only-driven-to-church-on-Sundays-by-a-little-old-lady'
amp! Dead collectable, original and delightful with its tremolo and reverb.
- went to Chris
1960s
Rex Mascot - these very cool Australian (Melbourne-made)
amps put out only about 3 or 4 single-ended watts from the single 6BQ5
output valve, but have become an icon for recording studios. Very original,
very collectable, very usable - went to Tony
Very
interesting 1960s single-ended Class-A 'baby' amp made by Goldentone but
badged Electravox! A very original and unmolested example
of an early Aussie student or practice amp. Beautiful single-ended class-A
tone from its single 6GW8 valve. Original 8" Alnico speaker - went
to Martin

studio, with creamy valve overtone from the cathode-biased 6CA7 output

this is one of them. 2 x 6L6GC output in cathode bias configuration (around
25 watts) into the original 12" alnico speaker, with reverb and tremolo
to die for. Superb! - went to Tony

Vadis 601 50watt guitar amp with reverb and tremolo - probably
one of the nicest-sounding guitar amps I have ever played through, and
one of the ugliest! 1960s Sydney-made Vadis head with reverb and trem
- amazing sound! - went to Richard
1960s Vadis 3x12 Alnico speaker box - a great sounding
vintage Aussie speaker box with three 15ohm 12inch Alnico speakers (I
think they're Rolas). 5 ohm impedance, and sounds great for either bass
or guitar - went to Glenn
1960s
Moody model 496 - 4 grouse class-A watts of Aussie valve
tone from Moody! - went to Tony
1960s
Eminar bass box loaded with original vintage Celestion 18" speaker!
- this is a very early Eminar item, probably the earliest I've ever come
across. Unbelievable home-use-only condition, and the original HUGE 18
inch Celestion is as fresh as the day it was made. 65 watt power handling
and 16ohm impedance makes it perfect for a wide range of vintage valve
heads. Great for bass, organ or guitar use! - went to Tony
fresh
rebuild!! 1960s Rex Bassking BA50 - 50 watt 'bassman' style
head from Rex! Our own Aussie version of the Fender® blackface Bassman®
based original Jim Marshall JTM-45® type head. Very original and collectable,
and ready to rock for another 40 years! This amp's 'bass instrument' channel
is my favourite with my double-bass, being warm and with a huge bass extension

name. Fantastic sound - went to Tristan
1960s
Geloso Italian AC-15 EL-84 amp - COOL! - vintage 1960s 15-watt

Moody GA-35 amp - I love this - a delightful Moody GA-35

has its original Alnico speakers, including separate 6" speaker for
reverb output! EL-34 tone in a distinctly Aussie package - went to Geoff
1962
(approx) Fi-Sonic 5 watt combo - I love these handmade amps
from Phil Dreoni's Marrickville (Sydney) workshop, and this is a real
little gem. Valve rectified, original Mullard rectifier and pre-amp valves,
and a fresh EL-84 output valve. Pure class-A single-ended tone, and an
ideal home recording amp. Superb! - went to Barry
1962
Australian 6 watt tremolo amp - Maton? - NEW OLD STOCK museum
piece which only came out of its box in August 2009! Not just an under-the-bed
find, this is a May 1962 timecapsule. Valve-rectified single-ended Class-A
hand-wired circuitry feeding a vintage Alnico speaker = true vintage tone!
As good for the recording studio as it is for the display cabinet! - went
to Martin
1962

is a very collectable vintage Moody model - cool looks and great sound
- and this one's the cleanest we've seen. Dead original - went to Graeme
1962 Moody 496 small class-A single-ended amp - miniature
amp with monster tone. We sold a blue '61 some time back, and it's great

even an on/off switch! Perfect for home recording, with tone that will
astound you - went to Duy

vintage Australian amplifier! Dates from 1963, and incredibly original,
right down to its red-coned MSP Radial Beam alnico speakers - went to
Brian
1963
Watkins Scout amplifier - Now this is COOL! A British 2xEL84
amplifier (like a Vox AC-15) with 2 channels and delightful tremolo on
channel 1. A single 10" speaker is not as loud as the Vox 12"
Blue, but it's still all tone, tone, tone, and it's very rare to boot!
In unbelievable condition, right down to its Mullard valves! - went to
a collector in Sydney
1963
Goldentone '7-40' amp RARE!!! - The only one in existence?
Quite likely. And must be the best if not the only one. Beautiful original

45 years - went to Tony

home studio, with creamy valve overtone from the valve-rectified 2x6BQ5

Very rare vintage Australian amp, and it has balls! 4 Class A (single-ended)
watts into the original vintage MSP Hi-Flux Alnico 8" speaker gives
tone, tone, tone, and there's plenty of gain from the EF86 pre-amp stage
to dial in pure single-ended distortion rich in even-order harmonics.
Has also been fitted with a switched outlet, meaning you can use this
as a 4-watt head with any 4-ohm cab - went to Paul
1967
Electravox ET8 Escort - a lovely 'Tremolo' (or vibrato) amp
sending its 8 watts into an original vintage MSP Hi-Flux Alnico 8"

seriously challenges the British version for outright tone. - went to
James
1967

Leslie 16 - remember 'that' sound on Stevie Ray Vaughan's
'Cold Shot'? Or Cream's 'Badge'? What about Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing'?

rare babies. I've been searching for years, and finally found one in amazingly
original condition - went to Michael
1968
Geloso 15-watt amp head - We briefly had a Geloso amp (these
are vintage amps made in Italy) which had been used in a one-off 'special'

across another Geloso, let alone all original with its manual and original

you won't win any beauty contests with this one, but if you want bucketloads

The HUGE Goodmans 18 inch 100-watt speaker in the equally huge Selmer
tuned bass-reflex box just goes down, and down...and down! This was

- a classic Aussie-built head and matching 3x12 speaker box with one of

early 1970s Yamaha TA30 guitar amplifier - I'd only ever
read about these amazing amps, and never thought I'd ever see one, let

individual (acoustic?) guitarist. In amazing mint condition! - went to

tape echo which uses the obsolete and impossible-to-obtain Sony EP-4 tape

fantastic! Or maybe you can modify your own tape loop to suit - went to
