Vintage Tube Amp

This is a late 60s Sears 5XL, aka the model 1420. Uses 3 tubes, a 12au6 for preamp, 50c5 for power, and a 35w4 as a rectifier. This is one of 7 I’ve owned – they’re light, cheap, easy to fix, easy to mod, and still manage to sound pretty good. I usually add an isolation transformer, a fuse, and a grounded cord, but this one is still unmolested. All I did was replace the resistors and caps that were out of spec. I did mark the neutral side of the plug for extra safety, but I wouldn’t play this one while standing in a bathtub. Tolex on the case is still in okay shape. There’s some dried tape residue on the cab, so old it won’t come off. These are fun amps, especially if you like to carry them to practice or gigs — you don’t need a friend with a van, Or even a friend.
