What's this Ceriatone Train Wreck chassis worth?
Hell chaps.
Working on a deal with a bloke. He's offered me a Ceriatone Train Wreck chassis (as per the pic) as part of the deal but I've no clue as to how to put a value on it. Full working order etc. but I'd have to make a case for it. Would anybody know what this would realistically sell for on TradeMe? Thanks.

Look it up on the Ceriatone site? They do very nice cabs/headbox kind of thing too.

about $1000 I reckon
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

It's a Ken Fisher Trainwreck, sorry. Not sure if that means it's still a kit and he built it or what.
Cheers.
Edit. Maybe Ken Fisher is just the bloke that first designed them. Sorry. Not sure what's what here.

$1k with a headshell. Say $800 without. It's a Ceriatone. If Ken fisher had made the amp it would cost 20x that.

Re: What's this Ceriatone Train Wreck chassis worth?
Ken designed and built the originals, they go for silly money. There are a lot of kits out there. Ceriatone supply some nice kits including a pre-built option, these would fetch up to $1000 I reckon. A "home-made" kit could be worth anything from $1 to about $1000+ maybe.
You need to know exactly what it is and to what standard it was built. (gut shots required etc.)
If its an original I'll give you $1000 for it now

OOOOOOOH! NOICE!!!!
Is that picture the actual amp? If so, it's a Trainwreck Express cos it looks like EL34s in the power section. (Of course it's not a Trainwreck really because Ken Fischer never made two amps exactly the same. They were all custom made for individuals).
You will probably like it. Even if you don't, it will be a very good amp. It's easily worth $1k but you have to put a box around it. Push for $800 but the owner's probably wanting 12.
Oversimplification:
Express: KF breathing on the classic Marshall circuit
Liverpool: AC30 marinated in fairydust.
Here's a real one. Please note the price.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Will make some more enquiries. Don't mind the idea of making a case but, of course, there's the cost. This one sounds nice:

It's probably a kit that Unique built 9 years ago.

One of my most wanted amps, absolutely no use for what I play now but still would be awesome!

This one or one like it was on TM a while back, I think he was asking between 800-900, may have started off wanting a grand.
