Vintage Tube Amp

This has been gone over by a tech with the capacitors and resistors replaced and any weak tubes. It is working and loud. It has no hum at all until you plug a guitar cable into it and then it has a low hum/buzz on both inputs with more of a hum on input 1 than on input 2. Hum does get louder as you turn the volume up. You can see the parts that were replaced in the bags I show and the old parts are included. Also a new feed power wire has been put on. Cosmetically some of the covering needs glued back down and there are some stains. Quite a bit of wear to the lettering on the metal piece with the inputs and controls. Base is 20″ wide x 8 3/4″ deep. Height is 17 1/4 with the carrying handle folded down. Age is late 1950′s to early 1960′s. You can still read some of the Gibsonette lettering on the metal plate. I will be listing several of these with this one being the best looking. Tubes are a 5751 or 8513. Pair of 6V6 and a 5Y3GT. Speaker numbers are 220844 10J11 V1310. As an owner of a Gibsonette, the Gibson model number is GA-8. Basically this amp is a double GA-5 or a tweed Champ on steroids. It is a dual single ended Class A tube amp with 6V6. One of the best recording amps ever. Also great for amplified harmonica players. I believe the speaker code dates this one to 1958. The items I sell Might or Might not be from a smoke free home.
