Up for sale, a 1975 Fender Twin Reverb, freshly serviced and in perfect working order. This Twin is freshly retubed with a matched quad of Tung Sol 6L6s and lives up to its reputation for having the most formidable, glassy, and balanced clean tones a tube amp can provide. These tones are further complimented by a pair of vintage Fender-branded and Pyle-manufactured heavy duty ceramic magnet 12 speakers, which have a smooth, punchy, and surprisingly articulate sound. Perfect not only for guitar, the Twin is an excellent choice for any scenario where headroom is a must, performing equally well with a pedal steel or your favorite Rhodes piano. The circuit is very original, with only a few new capacitors necessitated in the preamp to keep the amp operating to original factory specs. All of the original Schumacher transformers date between 1974 and mid-1975, and the power supply has been professionally recapped with a combination of Ruby and F&T caps. All of the original CTS pots are present as well, dating to’75. The chassis has a clean faceplate and full compliment of original knobs. Inside the cabinet, the original tube chart is intact, and the pair of Pyle-manufactured 12 speakers have clean blue foil Fender labels on the ceramic magnets, with clean black frames and viable cones. The smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth with orange stripe is quite clean, as is all of the original hardware. The amp was at one time fitted with additional handles on the sides of then enclosure which have subsequently been removed.

Vintage Masco MA-25 amplifier tube head harp guitar amp etc PROJECT! This is an old Masco MA-25 MA-25 all-tube amplifier. Originally a PA head, but in recent times many have been converted for guitar or harmonica use. This one has never been converted. UNTESTED and can be presumed to be currently not working properly. I don’t see any obvious replaced parts (I think those Sprague orange drops could be original but that is a guess) so I didn’t plug it in; I’m sure the capacitors will need either replacement or possible reforming and I have not attempted that. Also, it still has the original multi-pin speaker jacks and I don’t have anything to use with those. Also, the inputs are screw-on style except for one RCA input which is for a mono phonograph. I hate to put things IN CAPS but I’m really trying to avoid someone getting this, deciding it’s too much work and then returning it. You can see cosmetically it looks pretty good. Missing two of the six screws that hold the bottom on but the four present do the job. I did test the tubes and all the small tubes (the 7 series preamps) test at 100% or better on my B&K 707 tester (which doesn’t mean that if you use your tester you might not get the same results as testers vary); the 5U4 rectifier also tests strong. One of the 6L6 tubes tests in the questionable range (around 60%) , other a bit better so you should plan on new power tubes anyway. Power cord possibly replaced as it looks newer. There is some finish damage and wear to the chassis and cover but overall it looks pretty good cosmetically and the Masco logo is intact. The maroon knobs are original. Could be a good project for someone with the skills and time but if not you should find someone with experience (Skip Simmons is maybe the top guy in the country for Masco restorations). _gsrx_vers_1233 GS 8.1.1 (1233).
