The fine item you are considering is a Vintage 1966 Fender Champ Blackface Tube Amp Amplifier Needs Minor Work. This great example of a’66 blackface Champ is in great working, great sounding condition, BUT the pot on the “Bass” knob just spins and will need to be replaced. The only other issue being that the pots are quite scratchy and need to be cleaned internally with something like Caig’s DeOxit. Tube chart says “AA764, Production 92, PK” and the chassis number is #A 10658, which should put production at November of 1966. Please see my photos to have a look at this nice item.
Check out this mid 50′s Magnatone Starlet amp that I hot rodded into a Fender narrow panel tweed champ! Originally the starlet is an ACDC amp with no power transformer. These typically sound kinda weak, SO I gutted the circuit and added a vintage new old stock stancor power transformer from the 50′s, kept the original speaker and output transformer and built a narrow panel 5f1 champ circuit inside! The results is a super hot rodded maggy! TONS of hot gain and sounds fantastic with every single guitar. Great for low output guitars too like a kay thin twin etc because it has so much gain! The video I made with les paul is only on 3! Grounded cable ALL new caps and resistors. Original cab is in fantastic shape and even has most the original waterslide decal on the front. I have never seen a starlet in this nice of shape. Lots of natural wear and tear. Original button alnico speaker that works great but I cannot promise how long it will uphold if you abuse the amp with pedals or put a metal guitar through it. Watch the video and see how awesome it sounds! This is a killer piece!

Awesome 65 blackface vibro champ. This is a awesome sounding little amp that is dripping with the old vintage fender mojo, this sweetie has been in my amp line up for some time and she just don’t get out as much as she should so I’ve decided to re-home her. All works correctly and has had a service check up and new jj tubes recently and I had a 3 prong ground plug installed for safety. Pots are dated 8th week of 65 and transformer is dated 40th week of 65. These amps are only increasing in value I was informed that it is a newer silverface vintage cabinet but is indeed a 1965 chassis so it’s not a 100% original amp but it’s still a great investment.. If any questions feel free to reach out thanks for looking!

As a professional guitar player who started playing in the’60′s, this is one of my favorite amps. It’s a TUBE, it’s lightweight, and it looks like new! I got it from a Nashville sessions guitar player by the name of Charlie Chambers. Charlie had a music store in the Chattanooga area. I bought the amp about 15 years ago, and it has been in my home studio ever since. I don’t play much any more, but I have regularly kept this amp on and ready to play. The amp has a serial number or A 34180, confirming what Charlie told me, that it is a 1972 model. I checked out the Champ this morning and on Channel 2 1-10 Volume is quiet and the Treble and Bass 1-10 work as they should. On Channel 1, above 6 Volume, there is a slight hum, and I mean slight. I have priced it accordingly, after having spoken with my music store tech, who says he can fix Channel 1 with no problem. I want to be totally up front when I say that this is a totally, no-disappointment amp ready to play and enjoy! There’s nothing that beats the warmth of a tube amp!
