Vintage Tube Amp

Vintage Lectrolab R800D 2×12 tube guitar amplifier. Powered by a pair of 7189 power tubes and (4) 12ax7 pre amp tubes. First channel has tremolo. Everything is in working condition, however, has not been serviced. The first channel tone control is fairly noisy. The more you turn the tone up, the more background noise there is. Not the case with the second channel. First channel also appears to have more gain. Original two prong power cable should be changed to a ground three prong. The amp has very little head room, and has a very creamy overdriven tone. It really breaks up when using a guitar with humbuckers. I believe the 1967 Jensen C12R speakers to be original.

For sale we have a vintage 1965 Fender Vibrolux Reverb Amp, a true American classic from the Blackface era. This amp came to us from it’s second, long term owner, and has seen good ownership and maintenance, including a current amp tech go through, as hired by us, from Bob Garufy, a local tech of note. This amp currently sounds fantastic, works great, and has a clean bill of health. Please read the entire listing. All things considered, for a 53 year old amp that has seen use, this amp is in very good condition. When this amp came to us, it had had its Reverb Driver replaced in 2004 with a Marvel brand driver. All remaining transformers are original and date to late 1965. The interior chassis stamp dates to late 1965. The speakers are original Jensen C10NS, C824 and date to late 65. The grill cloth is original, still has the original black staples, and is in really good shape. Original tolex, knobs, handle and logo. As mentioned, we had this amp serviced. We had the bright switches replaced, we still have the originals. We also chose to replace both the input jacks on channel one, we still have those, too. We also put a fresh, heavy duty power cord on it, the “death cap” checked fine so was left in. Any cold solders were repaired, and 1 meg ohm cap was replaced. The filter caps were pro replaced with Mallories in 1995, and still work strong. We replaced the out put tubes with a fresh pair of JJ tubes from Tube Depot. The current owner has plugged in a solid state rectifier in the rectifier tube socket, it imparts a pretty wide head room, so we left it. To put it back to tube would involve just a quick, easy swap with a rectifier tube. The remaining tubes are Sovtek, the 12AT7 in the first channel is USA. The owner chose to use a 12AX7 in the reverb socket for a super lush reverb, again, we like it, so we left it. All tubes have been checked and are good. This amp is good to go, ready for stage or studio use. Unfortunately we do not have a cover for it. We do have the original footswitch, which works perfectly. That being said, this is a solid, well gone through amp that should last, delight and continue to go up in value for years to come.
