Re: [Harp-L] Vintage (1938) Gibson amp & mic for sale.

When I was a teenager, an uncle of mine passed away and left me a 1939 
Gibson lap steel guitar, with this amp (EH150), both cased in tweed. This 
was before I began to play harmonica, maybe 1965. I was just getting into 
guitar, after 4 years of cello lessons.

I never caught on to the value of that heavy-ass lap steel, since the 
"fretboard" was almost an inch away from the strings, and I hadn't heard 
slide guitar except on the intro to "Adventures in Paradise- with Adam 
Troy", a television serial back in the early 60's. I thought it rather 
useless to me, and eventually, when I needed money, sold the guitar and case 
for 50 bucks to a collector, having put an ad in the "Pennysaver" sales rag. 
I didn't know the meaning of "vintage", I guess. I kept the amp at that 
point, but still hadn't a clue about its true value.

Later on, since I had blown the amp up practicing with neighborhood-shaking 
volume on my St.George (Japanese Stratocaster copy) I used to play through 
the mic input just to get more gain, distortion, whatever., I ended up 
tossing the amp, thinking it useless, since I didn't have the money at the 
time to buy a new speaker/tubes, etc.

Wow.

What a sap I wuz,,

FCOL (for crying out loud),,

Anyone have a time machine??
