What: Kent Solid State guitar amplifier.
Manufacturer: Kent.
Year: 1970s.
Where: Community Thrift Store. Orlando, FL.
When: December 2000.
How much: $18.95.
Why: My friend Sara saw it first. She doesn't have an amp in Florida so I'm not sure why she didn't nab it before I got to it. I saw it and its condition was speculatory. The guy said it had power but he didn't have anything to plug into it to see if it actually worked. I drove home, got my guitar and cord and drove back. As I was walking in some dude was carrying it around, already getting a ticket for it. I was bummed to say the least. He wanted to test it out using MY guitar. I don't think so. I acted slightly irritated/bummed out. I started to leave but the dude handed me the ticket if I played something for him. So I did and the amp was mine :) I love happy endings.

It's a pretty decent amp. It's not very loud. It's got one 12" speaker. Three imput jacks and two effects inputs. On the console it has a very nice sounding tremolo and killer reverb. We're talking Dick Dale here.
