Uploaded 6 days ago - seems like a good deal despite the lack of gut shots. Slightly interesting and alarming that he says it's a 1960....
Figured someone here may be on the lookout for an old showman.

Wow! Super rare 1x12 tone ring Showman. It's being sold by Wildwood guitars in Louisville, CO, which isn't too far from me.
Louisville isn't too far from Boulder, CO. Home of these guys who used these amps......hmmm.

I called Wildwood, and it belonged to a collector who passed away, and is being sold by his widow. I asked point blank if it had any known history, specifically the Astronauts connection with this model, and he said not that he was aware of.
