Hello. I am heavenbound1. I am a vintage guitar, mandolin and amp nut.Love the old stuff. I play a martin D-18V. My family travels in Evangelism... and I have written a few books... with another on the way.
I recently bought a 1969 Mosrite BG-1000 amp. It is all origina;l and even has the foot pedal. I was reading on here that there are or were only 19 ,made??? Do I have something rare and sought after here??

Welcome to the forum. Don't know much about Mosrite amps myself but there's some mention of the BG-1000 in the Ventures Book. Here's the link to the online version of it...you need to scroll down to page 151

Welcome to the forum. Is your BG-1000 cut down to just a head by any chance, or it is in the full cabinet with speakers?

Not sure how to list pictures on here. I play mainly acoustic guitar and mandolin. I want to see what this is worth and sell or get a good trade on a guitar.
It is not cut up... it is around 3 feet tall... all original... even has the foot switch. I plugged a guitar into it and it worked. It is in pretty good shape.
