Vintage Tube Amp

Up for sale, a 1959 Fender Champ in excellent condition and in perfect working order, freshly serviced and complete with a full vintage tube set. Simple, elegant and clean enough to satisfy collectors and serious players alike, this vintage Champ boasts its original lacquered tweed and hallowed 5F1 circuit. It doesn’t get much more pure than the Champ, and this studio favorite delivers freakishly dynamic and glassy pure tube tone that can go from clean to fully saturated overdrive with a twist of the single knob. This particular Champ has been well cared for over the decades and is stocked with the original Oxford 8 speaker. The circuit has just been serviced by our techs here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, with new filter caps sleeved in the original Minimite wrappers (all original caps included) The preamp retains the original yellow Astron tone capacitors. Both transformers are original, and the chassis itself boasts an extremely clean chrome faceplate with all of the original white silkscreen lettering. The original gray two-prong power cable is still installed as well. The original Stackpole pot dates to the 30th week of 1959, and the Oxford speaker dates to the 43rd week of the same year. Both the speaker frame and chassis have an “IK” stamp, which translates to November of 1959. The tubes are all vintage valves including a Tung Sol 6V6 power tube. Cosmetically, the original lacquered tweed has ambered considerably, with some minor scuffs and wear around the lower right corner on the face of the enclosure in particular, but overall the tweed looks particularly great and uniformly aged, with original nailed in feet and even the original leather handle! Both back panels are original as well as the baffle, which retains the original oxblood grillcloth with gold stripe.
