Takt 1960s vintage vacuum tube hand wired guitar amp

After Much deliberation I have decided to part with this little monster. Not much info out there on this one so I’ll tell you what I think I know. It was sitting around in the basement it was used and dusty and had not seen the light of day in a few years. I plugged it in and it fired right up and sounded great. I’ve got a lot of great deals on gear throughout the years but this was one of the best and one that I’ve kept the longest. These were made in japan in the early 60′s. It is hand wired, all vacuum tube. The speaker is 3w 80hm and 5 1/2 paper cone. Tubes are one 6AR5 and two 6AV6. I’ve never replaced the tubes and assume they are original. I guessing the power output is 5-10watts but I don’t really know. It appears to be all original with only a few cosmetic issues. The chrome cover for the Strap handle is missing and there are paint rubs and dirt smudges here and there. The grill is perfect without rips or stains. The red vinyl covering is also in very good shape, without any major rips or holes. The amp has never had any repairs or modifications to my knowledge. This thing sounds great. The paper cone speaker breaks up very musically. It handles pedals surprisingly well. I did find a youtube video of someone playing a similar amp if you want to check it out. Takt Amp and Ampeg Heavy Stud Guitar on youtube I’ve used this in the studio and it records fantastic. It can get a little noisy depending on pedals you use in front and what its sitting next too. But those have always been easy issues to solve. That being said Im not going to let it go without a fight. I don’t see any currently for sale anywhere online. I’m going to start at the low end of the middle and see where it goes. I have other amps that I don’t like near as much (pignose, Marshall, & mesa boogie) that I will be listing soon along with some other instruments and gear, so stay tuned (gotta thin the herd).
