If there, the QC stamp inside the chassis near the power transformer will tell when it was assembled. EIA codes on the transformers will help date it

I've been putting parts together to build one for my beautiful bride. That looks like her first "real" amp, if you're selling it as-is, I'll go $100.

Jack, I guess it's worth whatever you can sell it for. To me it's a chassis and face plate with unknown transformers, and 50 year old components.
Good luck to you!

Check Ebay's SOLD listings...there are a few late 60's Bassman heads that have sold with cabs..

It was, admittedly by both parties, a good deal, but I recently bought a working, no issues silverface Bassman head for $400. In Southern California. Just sayin'.

Keep it, get it fixed up, and have the Bass Channel converted to a Normal Channel. The Bass Channel is pretty much useless the way it sounds, and the conversion just involves changing a couple of capacitor values, and you can wire the Deep switch as a bright switch. You then have a great Fender head with two usable channels. I use mine for doubling on steel and guitar.

As far as a cabinet goes, Rick Johnson has built a lot of cabinets for people here on the forum and does great work. He can probably build whatever you want. You have the option of getting a head cabinet for it, or putting it in a combo cab. If you don't mind the weight of a combo you could go with a single 15, a single 12, or even 2x10s,

I wanted to list Rick first as he is a Forum member, but another source is JD Newell. A lot of people like his work, and his website shows examples of a couple different combo cabs for this chassis, as well as a standard head cab.
