Vintage Tube Amp

This Fender Bronco Tube Amp is in great shape for its age; this is the same as a Vibro Champ, the only difference is the front metal plate. It is a 1971 manufactured combo amp: The chassis is stamped June 14, 1971. The Speaker is an Oxford, dated the 18th week of 1971 (4657118). The output transformer is dated 6th week of 1971 (606-1-06). The power transformer is dated the 20th week of 1971 (606-1-20). The 2 12AX7 preamp tubes seem to be replacements from original, but the 6V6 output and the 5Y3 rectifier tube appear to be original (in my opinion). The only flaws are some pitting in the metal amp straps and the handle metal end caps. There is also an area where the tolex is separated on the top corner (shown in the last picture). The amp sounds great with an electric guitar, all controls work and it’s quiet when idling. The pots and tube sockets were treated with contact cleaner (spray). The serial number is: A30098. The grille cloth backing is slightly warped; look at the lower right corner of the amp in the first picture. This could probably be fixed by attaching the corner better staples? Since 2 tubes (the 12AX7′s) have been replaced from originals, this is considered to be 99% original.
