Oahu 385K Melody Master Amp Pink Pearloid 1941

No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California.

The coolest lap steel amp ever - the Oahu 385K in pink pearloid!

This amp works, and it works pretty darn well!  The original field coil speaker and transformers are in place too.

The amp has seen some beneficial service, getting a grounded power cable and an electrolytic cap update.  The handle is changed as well.

The amp is in stunning condition.  Most that you see have damage to the art deco louvers and/or curling pearloid covering.  

The amp doesn't sound amazing - you're probably not going to lay down tracks with his one - but it does sound better than I thought it would, and it just looks cool as anything.

Shipping policy:

When you purchase this item you are hereby agreeing to this shipping policy. We remove tubes from amps that could be damaged in shipping.  We remove the chassis from some amps so that the large transformers don't damage a chassis or cabinet.  We remove heavy speakers from some amps so they don't damage baffles.  These cases result in multiple box shipments, and they require the buyer to do some assembly on delivery.  We do this because we have experienced shipping issues in the past, and this is our prevention measure.  Vintage amps are sold as-is because they can need service intermittently.  Everything is tested here in our shop on the way into our inventory, and again before shipping.  We will cover shipping damage, but we cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in 20-to-50-plus year old amps. Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions.  If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com.  Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
