Greetings! I picked up a 70's HD-130 Reverb 2x12 combo about a year ago. I have since moved to an apartment and so now it just sits so I should sell it to someone that can use it, but I don't know the value. The amp badge on the grill says "HD-130 Reverb" and I can only find information on the amps that have the "212-HD one-thirty" badge. They appear to be the same thing but I don't know the reason for different names.
Does anyone know the reason for this or educated in the history?
Forgive me if this is the wrong forum to post this question.

Hi,

I found this blog years ago that has some other info on the old MM amp line:

Welcome! | Music Man Amps

Hope that helps; back years ago I had one of the 112RD-50 models. Take their info with a grain of salt because I know for a fact he site is WRONG when it says the RD-50 models ran from 1982-1984; they start in 1981 as I purchased mine in June 1981.

Thank you, this looks like it'll be a nice resource! There is some scanned Music Man catalogs from the 70's-early 80's on there but still cannot find any info on why my combo amp is called a "HD-130 Reverb" like the head units where... Maybe they just ran out of 212-HD 130 badges?

Maybe it was an early model and they changed the badge some time later?
