Vintage Tube Amp

1969 Ampeg SB-12 Amp. Electric Guitar / Bass Amplifier Head. Includes: Cabinet hardware, Amp handle, Tube screen, Schematic, and Metal shielding plate. I bought this amp from a music store that was going out of business many decades ago. I noticed right away the speaker cabinet and the board that the amp head was mounted to were in bad shape so I discarded them. It had been brought in for repairs but the company never fixed it and went out of business. I also never did anything to restore it until last month when I took it to my amp tech. He replaced the power cord, on/off switch, removed the death cap, changed filter caps, repaired a short, and checked the general operation. He also replaced the output transformer with a comparable one. Since the other one was blown. This is now powering on and functioning. Apparently a former owner got some black paint over spray on the chassis face in certain areas. It comes with some cabinet hardware, amp handle, tube screen, schematic, and metal shielding plate. Model # SB 12. (CTS 35th week of 1969). (15th week of 1962). It might serve the buyers purpose to bring up the power slowly with a variac since these amp heads are over 50 years old and have not been used for a few decades.
