Up for sale, a 1962 Fender Bandmaster in collector-grade condition and in perfect working order. Extremely original, this “Piggyback” Bandmaster is decked out in original rough blonde tolex and oxblood grillcloth.

The speaker cab is loaded with the original Oxford alnico magnet 12L6 speaker pair and untouched speaker harness. The speakers date to the 9th week of’62. Inside the head cabinet, the tube chart has a “LF” stamp which translates to June of’62.

Serial # on cabinet was T-15270 made in USA. Turns on, but sound cuts and is only low volume. Metal case has signs of oxidation, as seen on photos. Tubes not included, i used tubes from another amp to test. Please no po or apo box address.
I built this amp 6 years ago, but it’s too loud for me to open it up when I play in my house. I assembled it from a kit by Boothill Amps, so the parts are high quality. You can look at his website for more information. It’s a 5-watt 5F1 “Fender Champ” circuit. The speaker is an 8-inch, 4-ohm ceramic Warehouse G8C. I bought a tube set directly from Dave at Boothill Amps because he said that a USA-made tube rectifier would be more reliable and keep the amp at the proper voltages. The newer modern production 5Y3 tubes run at higher (hotter) voltages. Keep this in mind if you plan on replacing the 5Y3 rectifier (far left tube, V3) and/or the 6V6 power tube (middle tube, V2). He sent me a USA-made RCA 5Y3 (rectifier) tube and a USA-made RCA 6V6 power tube. These are vintage tubes, but I’ve read that rectifier tubes last a long time. The V1 preamp tube (far right) is a brand new modern Russian-made TOL-SUNG AX7. I will include these three tubes with the sale. The transformers I used are now difficult to find: a USA-made ClassicTone 40-18019 (Power Transformer) and a ClassicTone 40-18115 (Output Transformer). The pine cabinet is unbranded and came with the kit. It’s well-made and covered with raw (unlacquered) tweed. See photos and video for details.
