Vintage Tube Amp

Up for sale, a 1964 Fender Super Reverb in excellent condition and in good working order. This Pre-CBS amp has been incredibly well cared for over the past nearly 50+ years, and comes from the first year of production. However, what truly makes this Super a rarity and a tonally exquisite example is the quad of original Jensen C10R speakers, arguably the rarest speaker quad used in this amp during the Blackface era. As a result, the tone has a hi-fi clarity, punch, and detail rarely afforded a Super Reverb and to round things out the amp is fitted with a complete vintage (and likely original) tube set including a matched pair of Fender-branded RCA 6L6GCs. Perfect for gigging situations and an ideal recording amplifier, the amp provides you with plenty of pristine Fender cleans until you hit the 4-5 range on the volume dial, where a bit of tube and speaker breakup send the amp into smooth overdrive. The reverb is lush and deep, and the tremolo has a nice pulse, with everything from swampy and slow to machine gun fast tremolo. The circuit is untouched save for a new three-prong power cable and even the original compliment of filter caps are still working as intended. All of the original coveted blue molded Ajax tone caps are intact too, and an integral part of the sweetness and detail of the Blackface sound. All of the original Schumacher transformers feature date codes from early’64, and the original CTS pots also date to 1964. The chassis itself is very clean as is the original blackface faceplate, which has been fitted with a new compliment of witch hat knobs. The tubes consist of a matched pair of “Made for Fender by RCA” 6L6GC power tubes along with a compliment of General Electric and RCA preamp tubes. In terms of the speakers, this Jensen quad is completely original, with matching late 1964 codes and the original harness. The speaker cones are all original, and the amp has a very strong, clear tone, as these cones have seen limited use over the decades and still reproduce focused lows and chiming highs. All four speakers retain clean square Jensen labels on the ceramic magnets, and the black frames show sparingly little wear. The original smooth black tolex is clean and original with little wear, while the original baffle features new aged silver sparkle grillcloth. The lower back panel is original and the upper panel is a modern replacement. The original nickel corners, sphinx glides (feet), chassis straps, chrome tilt-back legs, and raised “Fender” logo are present, and all hardware is in excellent shape. This Blackface Super Reverb is particularly clean, well maintained, and ready for stage and studio use! The original two-button Reverb/Tremolo footswitch is included.

Up for sale, a 1965 Harmony 430 tube amplifier in excellent condition and in good working order. Like many Harmony amps of this era, this amp was produced by Valco in the USA, parent company of Supro, National, Airline, and others and is also known as the 6162 Reverb-Tremolo. ” This Harmony has a pair of Jensen 10″ speakers that accentuate everything we love about vintage Valco preamps, with a color and tone stack that is unique in the vintage amp world. Nothing has the full, harmonic rich overdriven qualities of a vintage Valco amp and the 430 is one of the most revered circuits, with the quintessential Led Zeppelin tone. It’s the sound of a stack in an open back 2×10 enclosure that has enough depth to really add some low end heft to the tone! The tremolo also has a very strong chop to it and the reverb (from the tiny two spring tank housed in the original cardboard box) has a lo-fi, surfy quality that is ideal for’60s garage and psych tunes. The circuit is very original, with the stock output transformer, a newer Hammond power transformer and a recap of the main power supply to assure that everything is operating within original factory spec. An example of true point-to-point wiring, the amp has mostly untouched solder joints and CTS pots that date to’65. Tube rectified and pushing roughly 15-20 watts, the amp boasts a pair of 6973 power tubes. A modern three-prong power cable has also been installed. The speakers are a matched pair of Jensen C10R ceramic drivers with clean black frames and 1965 date codes on the edges of the frames. Cosmetically, this amp is in great shape and the black silkscreening on the control panel is vibrant and intact. The original tolex has a subtle black ostrich pattern and the grillcloth shows modest aging, with a shiny chrome faceplate. There are some modest scuffs and light wear around the corners of the enclosure, but overall this 430 is a rare, versatile, and exceptional sounding amp that looks great and has been recently serviced by our techs here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar. 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 assure that your amp arrives safely.
