These Mark III’s have just been completely gone through and had numerous updates to improve reliability, but these amps have not had any audio path mods, hacks, or “hot rods”, and remain true to the original Dynaco sound and character. The Quad caps are brand new, replaced with the upgraded versions from Dynakit, The coupling caps and bias caps were replaced. The old selenium rectifiers were updated with modern parts for better reliability. The rectifier circuits have had updates to extend the life of the rectifier tubes. The input jacks were replaced with new jacks and the old screw terminals were upgraded to binding posts. These amps have also been upgraded with bias balance controls. This update allows the bias to be setup properly for each tube and eliminates the need to have perfectly matched output tubes, allowing for greater flexibility if you want to experiment with different tubes. Amps come with: New 5AR4 Shuguang rectifier tubes (arguably the best new rectifier available today). 1 amp has a vintage National 6AN8 and the other a Dynaco branded 6AN8. The output tubes in both amps are vintage RCA 6550′s. They sound, and work, great. Cosmetics are very nice, I would say above average. There is some small pitting on the chrome chassis of both units, but overall the chrome still looks very good and has a nice shine. The cages look great. The cages are included, so is the original manual. I have the original “Black Cat” coupling caps I will include if you want them. Interested buyers are welcome to come demo these amps and hear them in person.

This is a VINTAGE 1960′s Alamo guitar amplifier. Made in San Antonio, Texas, USA. I see quite a few of the C. Apri models, but this year Fiesta model with the controls on the back are nearly impossible to find. It is 100% complete and functions properly. I have cleaned the controls and inputs, no scratchy pots. It was recently service, with new capacitors to eliminate the 60 cycle hum. All the controls work. This is a low wattage TONE MONSTER! Controls are volume, tone, tremolo speed and intensity. I added a tone knob and a handle, but they look like they belong on the amp. I doubt you could tell them from the missing original items. Old electronics are scratched, worn, chipped, cracked, dirty, dusty, stained, ugly, tinkered with, missing parts, etc. The exteriors have wear that includes cuts, holes, tears, scuffs, missing stitching, missing or replaced feet and knobs. In the course of servicing over the years, they typically do not have all original components. Old electronics typically hum and have scratchy controls. As a basic test I have operated this amp for at least 4 hour recently and it did not fail, smoke, blow fuses, etc. Old electronic can fail at any time. That is a bargain. This item is heavy and will require extra time and care to package. Please take a look at the last picture and my other listings. I have a great collection of amps for sale now. One need a little service. One is a wall hanger. The Solid state amps include a vintage Sears, Roebuck and Co. WOW, that’s a room full! We will work through the claim together until things are right.
