Up for sale, a 1969 Ampeg AC-12 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Just given a clean bill of health by our in-house techs here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, this Ampeg boasts an all-tube 20 watt circuit in an open-back 1×12 enclosure. An uncommon amp designed by Ampeg to appeal to accordion players (but excellent for guitar) and available for a very short span of years, the AC-12 was virtually identical to its later version the GU-12, which was used by the Rolling Stones on Exile on Main Street. With simple Volume and Tone knobs in addition to controls for the built-in Tremolo and Reverb, the AC-12 is a straightforward, pure sounding amp with robust cleans and some nice overdriven grind when dimed out. The circuit is very original, with stock transformers and CTS pots that date to the 50th week of 1969. The faceplate retains all of the original knobs and the majority of the blue silkscreen graphics, while the polished chrome back of the chassis notes the amp’s Linden, NJ manufacture. The amp boasts a complete vintage tube set, with the original Ampeg-branded 7591 power tubes and preamp tubes from the likes of RCA and Sylvania. The amp has been fitted with an Oaktron ceramic magnet 12 speaker which easily handles the AC-12′s 20 all tube watts and keeps the sound tight and full. The original smooth black tolex and aged silver sparkle grillcloth are intact, with original corners and handle caps present too. Both back panels are intact and the enclosure shows some light wear from the past half century, but overall has weathered the decades in style. Check out our shop “Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, ” and please let us know if we can answer any questions! We use double thick boxes, 1″ foam, and industrial 1/2″ bubble wrap to ensure that your amp arrives safely. International orders will be declared as merchandise, and the value of merchandise will be declared as the amount paid. We cannot declare anything as a gift or for a lesser value.

For sale is a very nice custom Magnavox 9300 Series Tube Amplifier. Several modifications and upgrades including. RCA inputs in the rear. Covers on output supplies (they just rest on the chassis and are not mounted). Power switch on front. Speaker jacks in rear. Power light / Green colored jewel light. Sturdy wooden base with handles. Four (4) tubes across the back are nice Mullard tubes. No trouble powering a set of large Advents or similar type of period speaker. If you only have one source, you could plug it right in to the amplifier and avoid the use of a pre-amp. I tested with both a pre-amp and a reel to reel player direct and the sound was the same. Note, you’ll want something with a volume control as there’s no volume control on the amp. This was recently serviced and is fully operational. Just changed the light bulb with a new bayonet style bulb. Re-soldered the right input connector. Repainted the wooden base in gloss black and touched up the Berry-colored chassis. Closest color match would be Revlon Baby Berry (I used nail polish to touch up). Amplifier will be professionally packaged to ensure a safe arrival. It will stay attached to the board, but all of the tubes and covers will be removed and packaged separately to avoid any breakage.
