There is just one tube included a 5R4 rectifier. Just acquired a massive lot of gear, will not be spending time per unit to acquire parts/tubes and/or have serviced. May work amazing, may need parts, service, repair, restoration, calibration etc. Will be packed well, but will be expensive.
The 1956 Fender Champ Amp Tweed Vintage Tube Amp is a classic guitar amplifier known for its vintage look and iconic Fender sound. With its iconic tweed covering and tube technology, this amp delivers warm and rich tones perfect for any guitar player looking to add a touch of vintage flair to their sound. The Fender Champ model is beloved by musicians for its high-quality construction and timeless design, making it a popular choice for both studio recording and live performances. Amp is vintage and has not been serviced as far as I can tell. Turns on and is functional. Comes with two additional tubes (5Y3GT and 6v6GT). Please see all pics.
Up for sale, a 1941 Gibson EH-125 1×12 combo amp in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Introduced in’41, just prior to US involvement in WWII, and only produced for a few years, this rare, early Gibson amplifier is the little sibling of the EH-150, pushing 10-12 watts of power via a pair of vintage RCA 6V6 tubes through the original field coil speaker. This amp features three inputs: one Microphone and two Instruments, along with a single Volume control which dictates only the Microphone channel (the Instrument channels are fixed/maxed volume). Tonally, this amp is sweet and smooth, with fantastic clarity and a kind of burnished warmth that one can really only find with the amplifiers produced in the very first days of electric guitar amplification. The Microphone channel, as the only channel with a Volume control, enables the amp to be pushed up into perfectly creamy edge-of-breakup territory, with a bluesy bite and just enough sizzle. The point-to-point circuit features the original pair of transformers (output transformer mounted to the field coil speaker frame), with a few new tubular signal caps installed as needed, and a modern Alpha-branded Volume pot. A couple stock signal caps and many original carbon comp resistors are present, and the power supply has been recapped with high quality F&Ts. A three-prong power cable has also been installed. The tubes are a matched set of vintage RCAs, including the 6V6 power tubes, a 5Y3 rectifier, and a 6SJ7 and 6J5 valves in the preamp. The original field coil speaker is present; the coil has been rewound and the speaker has been reconed. The original coil cover is intact, and there is a 1941 date stamp on the edge of the frame. The enclosure retains its original “rich Cordoba brown” covering, accented by a small Gibson silkscreened logo, with relatively restrained wear considering its vintage. The black metal grill is clean, the latches that hold on the removable back panel are all intact and functional, the original leather handle and leather corners are present, and the original chickenhead knob is intact.
Up for sale, a 1964 Vox AC50/4 Mk III vintage tube amp head in excellent condition and in perfect working order, freshly serviced with an extremely original circuit. This UK-made JMI AC50 is a real powerhouse, and the dual EL34 design has plenty of British sizzle and chime, with big, bold overdrive when diming it out, and tight, punchy low end thanks to the diode rectification. The amp pairs exceedingly well with all manner of guitars for iconic British Invasion-worthy tonalities. The circuit is extremely original and freshly serviced by our techs here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar. All of the original transformers are intact, along with all of the original pots, and a preamp that retains virtually all of the original signal caps and resistors with Mullard mustard caps that date to the 3rd quarter of’64. There are two larger capacitors in the power supply to ensure optimal functionality, and the power cable has been upgraded to a modern three-prong variety. The tube complement includes a pair of Ruby EL34 power tubes, with a few original UK-made Mullards in the preamp. The head cabinet retains the original black basketweave tolex paired with the original lattice diamond grillcloth and white piping. The pack panel features dual multi-pin jacks and 8/16 ohm functionality, and adaptor cabling is included to convert the outputs to conventional 1/4 jacks. The blue/gray faceplate retains all of the original chicken head knobs, and other small yet meaningful original parts include the original plastic handle, raised Vox logo, one-pin corners, and model/serial number badge on the back.
This is an old amplifier from a filmosound projector. Great platform for a custom build, perfect candidate for a guitar amp mod. Please see pictures and ask any questions.
Very cool vintage 1955 Gibson GA-5 Les Paul Junior guitar amp. Amp shows some staining to the tolex, the handle is missing and there is a small rip on the speaker covering. Amp works and sounds great. Very quiet up to 3 o’clock on the knob, it gets a little noisy when dimed but not too bad. It has the early Les Paul Junior script on the plate. There is a very valid reason for people calling these the Champ killer. Amp still has the original 2 prong power cable.
