For sale:

A gently used Dr. Z 6545 all tube amp head, with AC cable and footswitch.  I'm not the first owner, but I've treated it well and it's in very good shape (the tolex has minor wear, no major issues).  Everything works on it as it should, to the best of my knowledge.  All the controls respond correctly, the tubes are functioning well and the amp can be very loud! 

One side of the amp is the KT-45 (Dr. Z original that is somewhat like a Hiwatt) and the other side is SRZ-65 (Dr. Z "jcm 800" type circuit).  The sounds you can get out of this amp go from dynamic and clean to early 80's UK heavy tones!  

The amp includes the AC power cord and comes with the original footswitch to go between channels.

From the Dr. Z website:
6545:

Note: Production of this amp was suspended in April 2006. 

The 6545 is our first channel-switching guitar amplifier. Dubbed the 6545, the amp combines two proven amp designs in one channel switching amp head. The amp incorporates the 1990 design of the high gain SRZ-65 with the more recent KT-45. 

Each hand-wired, point-to-point pre-amp has it's own set of non-interacting controls; adjusting one channel's settings does not affect the other. The power section uses modified power transformers to a pair of EL-34 power tubes, and operates in an ultralinear Class A/B mode. 

"Dr. Z", states: "The SRZ-65 has been a proven cascaded-gain amp for over a decade. Now, by coupling the smooth overdrive from te SRZ-65 to the punchy tones from the EF-86 based KT-45, you've got the best of both worlds. Jump from singing high-gain leads to punchy driving rhythm tones with the click of a footswitch." 

The 6545 is graced with a new white front panel, providing great contrast to the original black "chicken-head" knobs. Finishing the look is an amethyst jewel light, and a blue LED channel indicator.

I can guarantee that the amp will be working before I ship it (I'll be recording a short video for proof, just in case) and I'll make sure it's packed in the box it came to me in (A Dr. Z shipping box).  It will be insured and trackable, most likely Fed Ex ground unless the buyer is shipping from an unusually expensive location.  CONUS ONLY and no returns offered unless DOA, sorry, but I'm not a brick and mortar store, so I can't take returns because you change your mind.  
Check my feedback and buy with confidence!  I'll be happy to answer any questions you have before purchasing too.  It's a cool amp, I just have more than I can use at the moment, so I'm letting this one go.
