Looking for any info about a Jordan ampilifier that I was given. It's about 18" tall and says Jordan with a number 10 on the front and has a carrying handle. Is there any market for these?
I know nothing at all about these so any info would be helpful!
Thanks!

I believe Jordan Electronics was somekind of manufacturing facility. They are most known for these:


Victoreen bought the trademark and facilities in circa 1957 when it wanted to expand to West Coast.

I guess that in the mid 1960's, radiation meters and related gear was no longer in as great demand and someone had a bright idea to start manufacturing those new guitar pedals and solid-state amplifiers. The venture lasted to early 1970's and I believe that at this point Rickenbacker hired most of the technical staff handling the production of such units.

Unfortunately, at the time there is no considerable market for vintage solid-state amplifiers.
