A customer showed up with a 1959 Johnson Celestion. Really nice condition. He is looking to have it valued. Does anyone reading this have an idea of value?

The speaker manufacture date appears to be from December 1963. It looks quite similar to the Celestion Combo 1×12 in the Cowpuncher Bridesmaid youtube video, but is different with less knobs. It is a two channel input Amp, but cannot seem to find any pictures or info. on it anywhere. The faceplate has Johnson Sound Systems Brandon-Manitoba Made in Canada. Is anyone out there familiar with this amp or where I could get any information about it? Very light weight, portable and clean sounding. Thanks

Looks the same as the celestion and has a gain. Anyone know anything about these? Thanks

He just had the vibrato repaired and amp completely serviced and replaced what ever needed to be done. It sounds great. Its 7 watts and breaks up nicely. Got to love Albert’s ingenuity because he used arborite countertop for the circuit board.

If anyone has one they would like to sell please let me know.
