The cabinet and tolex remain in excellent condition. All hardware—including the Fender badge, carrying strap, chassis straps, knobs, inputs, outputs, and the working courtesy plug—is original. The RCA tremolo jack and footswitch have been replaced and a Fender cover is included.
This amp is not only a historical piece but also great for players. It has a vintage set of grey long plate 6V6GC tubes with a Gibson logo, believed to be either RCA or Sylvania. There's a vintage Solvtek 5ARf/GZ34 rectifier tube, a vintage Fender pre-amp 12AX7 tube, and a newer phase inverter tube installed.
The speaker is the Fender Classic Jenson C10 . Its got that Fender shimmer, its in great shape no issues at all. The power transformer is a replacement Hammond, while the output transformer is original, date code 606-906, indicating the fifth week of 1969. An adjustable bias has been installed, currently set at 24 milliamps (70% plate dissipation).
The main electrolytic cap can has been swapped for a superior Hayseed cap can, replacing the old CTS model. All signal capacitors have been upgraded to vintage Jupiters. Most of the replaced parts will be shipped with the amp. The ground switch has been disengaged since three prong plug installed.
