Up for sale, a 1962 Magnatone Custom 262 Jupiter vintage tube amplifier in collector-grade condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original footswitch and hangtag. Virtually identical to the 260 model, this Estey-era Magnatone was rebranded as the 262 Jupiter for the accordion market who were a large part of Magnatone’s client base in their heyday. The amp features an ostensibly original set of all vintage tubes, with a matched 6L6 General Electric power tube pair, as well as a 2×12 speaker configuration with original Oxfords and lush pitch shifting vibrato. This Magnatone features two channels with individual Volume and EQ controls as well as two-way Tone toggles for each channel. Driven by the aforementioned GE 6L6 power tube pair, the amp has a rich, lush sound capable of delivering both articulate cleans and overdriven roar when pushed hard. Of course at the heart of any Magnatone is their varistor-based true pitch shifting vibrato circuit, which is thick and watery, with a Leslie-esque swirl and unequalled dimension. As a top of the line Magnatone amplifier, the 262 Jupiter has a complex true point-to-point hand-wired circuit which is 100% original save for a couple new resistors and a single capacitor, fully vetted by our techs here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar. The circuit retains all of the original blue Ajax molded caps in the preamp and CTS pots that date to the 21st week of 1962. The original Schumacher transformers are intact, dating between late 1961 and early 1962. The GE 6L6 power tubes are properly biased and sound exquisite, paired with a Sylvania rectifier and preamp tubes from the likes of Telefunken and GE, all with nigh flawless silkscreen text on the glass. The amp retains its original pair of alnico magnet Oxford 12K5 12 drivers with very clean frames and original cones. The date stamps on the frames are from the 22nd week of 1962, matching closely with the pots and transformers. The original brown bindery cloth covering is exceedingly clean, especially notable on a Magnatone given the fragility of this material when compared to Fender’s tolex. There is very light edge wear, mostly relegated to the bottom 20% of the enclosure, and the original grillcloth is intact too with gold sparkle thread and the original Estey badge in the lower right corner of the baffle. The faceplate is quite well kept, with clean silkscreened graphics and all of the original barrel knobs. The amp comes complete with its original wooden wedge footswitch to engage the vibrato, as well as the original two-sided large Magnatone hangtag. 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 ensure that your amp arrives safely. International orders will be declared as merchandise, and the value of merchandise will be declared as the amount paid. We cannot declare anything as a gift or for a lesser value.

The amp is fully functional, the only issue is the water stain you see pictured. I found it stuffed away in a closet at an estate sale years ago and have played and enjoyed it but the music room is simply getting a bit crowded these days. If you have any questions or would like more photos please don’t hesitate to ask. I didn’t want to unnecessarily pull the chassis out for pictures but I can upon request.

Here we have a very, very rare and wanted Amp. I think this one is an early one maybe 1957? Not totally sure of the year. This 213 Model was made between 57 and 62. Its in very very nice conditon. Tolex is in nice shape with some spots that look like maybe they almost caught the cigarette in time, lol. NO rips in either grill cloth. This amp was just gone through professionally. Replaced three tubes and these items were done Full cap job, Special order rare cap, Undate filters, bias cap, node resistors, plate load resistors. Like I said one hundred percent and ready to go. This amp is sixty years old and a piece of working history. But due to it being vintage, still a final sale. Again working 100 percent, sounds great and I had my professional do EVERYTHING he felt it needed. I would love to keep it. But have to pass it on. I would put it up against anything in that era, and it is rarer as well! I will make every attempt at pointing everything out that I can. NO renegociation of price will occur after the sale. Seems like this is a new scammer way to get a lower price. I will not stand for it. Again if something is severely off, I will handle it with you. Generally all sales are as is. Especially on old Electronics. I will let you know if its working or not.

This is a really clean example from the 1950′s before Magnatone got bought by Estey (Magna Electronics) Speakers are original and never re-coned and sound fantastic. Tubes are not original. New caps where needed (not much) and a modern grounded power cord has been added. Plug it in and rock out. Of course the legendary pitch shifting vibrato is there. In my opinion this is the best vintage Magnatone model ever made. Enough power to play with a band and the tubes aren’t ridiculous to find when you need to replace one. This is the one.

This is a working Magnatone 213 Troubador guitar amp. It’s about 60 years old. The internal electronics are all original. Only 3 modifications were made as far as I can tell to this amp. A modern grounded 3-prong power cord has been installed. The tolex has been recovered. The speaker is non-original. Other than that it is stock original. The transformers are all original and the filter capacitor can is original. It seems to function fine so it wasn’t replaced. I uploaded a demo of this exact amp that is for sale onto Youtube, so you can get an idea of the sound. I start off with the amp having the vibrato off and then I turn on the vibrato. I demoed the vibrato with the speed and intensity knobs at 12:00 position. This is a telecaster with Fralin Blues Special pickups. No pedals or other effects are used. It’s just guitar straight into the amp with the volume knob at about 10 o’clock. This amp uses simple to obtain tubes like 6V6, 12AX7 and 12AU7 and a 5Y3 rectifier unlike some Magnatone amps. It is probably the most popular model of the Magnatone amps due to its lower wattage and legendery pitch shifting vibrato. Magnatone 213 Troubador Amp Demo – YouTube. EDIT: OK OK I cranked it for all you people asking: First was the amp turned up a bit by itself… Then with a dirt pedal in front. Guitar is an old Gretsch Corvette. Pedal is a Radial Tonebone Classic. The item “Magnatone 213 Vintage Tube Guitar Amp Amplifier Vibrato Troubador Evil Robot” is in sale since Wednesday, May 20, 2020.

Up for sale, a 1962 Lyric-branded Magnatone vintage tube amplifier, recently serviced and in perfect working order. Virtually identical to the 260 model, this Estey-era Magnatone was rebranded as the Lyric model 262, likely for one of the many accordion companies who worked closely with Magnatone in their heyday. The amp features a mostly vintage tube set with a matched 6L6 General Electric power tube pair, as well as a 2×12 speaker configuration with original Oxfords and lush pitch shifting vibrato. This Magnatone features two channels with individual Volume and EQ controls as well as two-way Tone toggles for each channel. Driven by the aforementioned GE 6L6 power tube pair, the amp has a rich, lush sound capable of delivering both articulate cleans and overdriven roar. Of course at the heart of any Magnatone is their varistor-based true pitch shifting vibrato circuit, which is thick and watery, with a Leslie-esque swirl and unequalled dimension. As a top of the line Magnatone amplifier, the Lyric 262 has a complex true point-to-point hand-wired circuit which has been recently serviced and fully recapped to sound its best, balancing originality and functionality. The circuit retains all of the original blue Ajax molded caps in the preamp and CTS pots that date to the 21st week of 1962. All of the original Schumacher transformers are intact including a power transformer that dates to the 34th week of 1962 and an output transformer that dates to the 22nd week of 1962. The power tubes are properly biased and have plenty of life left, and a GE rectifier and combination of original GE valves and newer Tung Sols round out the preamp tube compliment. The amp retains its original speakers, which are a pair of Oxford 12K5s that date to the 32nd week of 1962. The original brown bindery cloth covering shows the requisite scuffs and edge wear common with Magnatone amps, and the original grillcloth is intact too with gold sparkle thread and the original Estey badge in the lower right corner of the baffle. The faceplate is quite well kept, with clean silkscreened graphics and all of the original barrel knobs.
