Scott;
This isn’t the place for vintage equipment valuation. Find auction sites, like ebay, for that.

Does anyone know what the TFL500D/X means ?? I know the D stands for Domestic (USA) and X is eXport, but TFL500???? Some say it is TeFLon wiring which they din’t use till 1969, so for the Bandmaster Reverb and the Showman use the same numbers, anyone care for a guess???
