There's an '81 800 bass one that's been for sale on ebay for months at 590, I bought the guys 2204 off him so it's probably a good one. I'd say more like 400, doesn't look as if it's been stored well with the rust!
I might come in with you on the cab if you want to cut down the cost?
It looks like it has the original Mullard power valves too. They're actually less likely to need replacing than the filter caps, which might. (Probably should, but I would be inclined to Variac it up and see if they're ok first, unless there's already physical leakage.) Preamp valves will probably be RFTs.
It's a bargain at £300, if it just needs a cap job and the selectors fixed. The cab is cheap at £200 as well if all the speakers are OK - they are likely to be, 65s are from the first period where Celestion used modern glues and they don't tend to fall apart as much as the older ones.
Looks like about a '78 or '79 I think, since it has the older selectors but the modern IEC power socket. The cab is slightly more recent, probably '82-'83 I think.

This!
I agree on the creamy cleans, a great combo with a strat. In fact didn't Guitarist mag do a feature with dvd thing showing the all time best vintage tones? I remember seeing something like a 71 superbass?
