Major price drop and amp-only option added! Combo now at $250 OBO. Only possible trade would be for an EA CXL-112 cabinet.
If you're just interested in the tube amp portion I will remove the chassis and control panel (I'll have to cut the speaker wires but if you're going to retrofit this somewhere you'll want to wire them up to a jack anyway) and ship in the lower 48 for
$175. I'll probably need 1-2 weeks to do the surgery. It will all come out as 1 piece so aside from the speaker wires you won't have to do any reconnecting.
I'd prefer a local (Chicago area) sale as this is not a lightweight piece...but if you really want it shipped we can talk. Vintage 1966 Kalamazoo Bass 30, made by Gibson I believe and a 2x10 all-tube combo. They are supposed to be loaded with Jensen C10Ps (since this is really, truly a SEALED cabinet I can't get in to take pictures without wrecking something). Sounds very nice, 'tubey' and gets fairly loud (not keeping-up-with-drumkit-and-guitars loud but definitely a full 30 tube watts). Funky flip-out control panel on the rear, works fine, I was told by the guy whom I purchased from that it had a recent cap job and it's appropriately hum-free. Power from two 7591s and 6EU7 preamp tubes. I found a great resource for information on this guy here:

And a few pics below. The amp is at my practice space so additional detail will take a few days, but it's in really good shape for an amp as old as me...probably better shape then me. but that's another story. Schematic is stapled to the inside of the chassis. I'm guessing it's about 24x18x10 but will confirm when I get a chance. Weight, I dunno, but not light, maybe 45 pounds or so. I am trying to downsize the gear pile, just don't use this much so looking to get it into the hands of someone who will. Sounds cool with guitar too. I might part it out if there's no love here as the vintage Jensens are in demand these days but it seems a shame to cut into something 43 years old that works well -- so I thought I'd offer it up to TB first. PM with questions or for more info. Thanks!
