Thing #183: Broken Guitar Amp
This was my first guitar amp. It looks like a "Fenaer" because part of the nameplate broke off, but it's actually a Fender. Years ago, the speaker blew out, so I had to decide whether to try replacing the speaker myself, or to trying unloading it as is, or to just write it into my will and keep it forever.
After a couple attempts, I found a guy on Craigslist who wants to start working on amps. I sold it to him for... a donut. I'd originally asked for $5, but when he said he was stopping at a prestigious local bakery on the way, I was hungry so I said I'd accept a donut, too. He bought me a maple bar with bacon on top, which is pretty cool. Musicians are generally pretty cool.
