Sold-listing reading: fair $5,212, good $6,372, excellent $11,579 USD · 5 sold listings (thin sample — indicative only) · as of 2026-10-15. collected on 2026-10-15 (the session runs 14-15.10.2026; the ECB 2026-10-15 reference file was not yet published, so the SEK rate is dated 2026-10-14). The unfiltered 32-lot page for the same query was NOT used: its price and title arrays did not pair plausibly (a 5212 USD price landed next to a '90s Blues Deluxe), so the year-filtered page was used instead, where the pairing is verified by the PRICE DROP markers and by plausible price-title pairs. All five amps are Good or Very Good, so fair = sample minimum and excellent = sample median; the single Excellent lot (11578 USD, 'ALL ORIGINAL!') sits far above the rest, so read the range, not the median, for that tier. Excluded: a lap-steel instrument in a tweed case, a Victoria luggage cover, two movie posters and one '1957 Fender Deluxe Tweed-Style Combo' whose title says 'Tweed-Style' (cannot rule out a clone, although the seller is a known vintage-Fender tech). The wide-panel 5C3/5D3 lots and a '1953 Deluxe Triad 5B3 Power Transformer' lot also appeared on the unfiltered page and are NOT this row (wide panel has its own catalog row; the transformer lot is a component/ambiguous); no Fair/Poor sale observed; fair = lowest sold price in sample
