Provenance & Servicing: This amplifier was a gift and the historical documentation or ownership records for the unit prior to this point is lost or unavailable. To ensure optimal performance and reliability for its next owner, the amplifier was recently refurbished. During this service, the circuit capacitors were repaired or replaced, the control pots were cleaned or replaced, and the unit was bench-tested to confirm it operates properly.

I have no proof that happened, but the evidence seems to indicate that. Key Features & Controls. Dual-Channel Setup: Independent Normal and Vibrato channels.
