Sho-Bud Amp Info/Value

Amanda Jackson · Post by **Amanda Jackson** » 15 Apr 2021 11:52 am

I have 2 Sho-Bud Amps that I'd like a little information on and what they would be valued at. Both appear to be in really good condition w/ all switches on the top intact. Both have Sho-Bud covers. The D-15 has casters on it.

These were my father in laws and he passed away so I don't have any info on these items.

1)
D-15
Model 7838
Serial No. 01011

2)
Twin
Model 7832
Serial No. 1001
*This one has a sticker on it with Johnny Thomas and the Texas Rangers...not quite sure what that's about

Looking at past sales, $350 to $500

Would the twin be more or about the same?

Probably the same, but the single JBL D-130 15" is more popular with steel players.

Do you have the knobs that are broken off the sliders? I suspect replacement slider potentiometers can be found/substituted, but matching knobs I'm not sure.

Are these available? I am a sho-bud player and am currently looking for a 1x15 amp. Feel free to text or call me any time (917) 776 - 2002 . Thanks! - Andy

Gonna bring this post back to ask if anyone knows what type of speakers are in the 2x12? They're definitely not JBLs.

I found one on Marketplace for a great deal and I just want to know more before picking it up since it's a bit of a haul.
