The photo looks impressive but it does not show the guts. There was no link to Facebook, were you intending on sending one? I do not thing 100 bucks is too much, but a lot depends on what's in the center cabinet.

A cool looking unit.
I think this might be it !
If it is, quite a nice amp there, even though
this one does not have a power tranny.
Man, I'd grab it for sure.

I was adding up the filament/heater voltages--135 V. But the 12AX7 heaters are center-tapped, so if each was paralleled for 6V, the total would be 118 V.

the Facebook ad had a bunch of items for sale the picture he had only shows the same view as the Sam's photofact does does , no close ups or anything ...that is why I contacted him to see more, but he just sent the pic with the speakers.... he claims this is in mint condition , this is about 20 miles away from me ....I knew capitol made portables, but never seen one in a console ...
