Vintage 50s Gibson Gibsonette Tube Amp. Powers up and plays! Knobs had some scrachy to them when I tested the amp. I personally cleaned them with contact cleaner… They function as they should. At a lower to mid volume the amp sounds amazing. When you exceed the mid mark on volume… It does start surging/poping. This is an awesome piece. And having it seviced for reliability is part of owening one. Great peace for the true colector! Not many good survivors left! Due to the age of this amp…. I leave you to judge the over all pysical condition. So please study the pics. Carfully to note its pysical flaws. It will have tears and worn spots… ITS GOT THE FEW TIPYCAL cigarette Burns To The Top. Also shown in pics. Appears to be pretty much all original. As main part of this items condition / discription.

This has been gone over by a tech with the capacitors and resistors replaced and any weak tubes. Speaker is original with numbers of 220034 10J11 V1373. It is working and loud on input #2. It has no hum at all until you plug a guitar cable into it and then it has a low hum/buzz on input #2. Hum does get louder as the volume is turned up but I can’t hear it when the guitar is playing. You can see the parts that were replaced in the bags I show and the old parts are included. Also a new feed power wire has been put on both the amp and pedal. The 1/8 rca plug on the pedal plugs in very tight. Cosmetically some of the covering needs glued back down and there are some stains and missing covering. Gibson logo on the grill side is partially missing and there is some wear to the cloth grill. Last to note is that the cover for the tubed section is not original and you need to drill the 4 holes to mount it yourself. It is the correct size and fit and a tweed material but does not quite match the rest of the amp. Base is 20″ wide x 8 3/4″ deep. Height is 17 1/4 with the carrying handle folded down. Age is late 1950′s to early 1960′s. Lettering on the metal plate is pretty good. I’m not sure if the nobs are original or not–they could be replacements but certainly close to original if they are. I will be listing several of these with this one being the best looking. I’m rather disappointed that input 1 did not work as when I bought it I was told it was fully working—and it is other than that input. Tubes are 12AX7, pair telefunken ECL82, 5Y3GT. I believe the speaker code dates this one to 1960. The items I sell Might or Might not be from a smoke free home. Most items are used and vintage and smoking occurred in almost 50% of the homes in the US at one time. Don’t ask me to smell them because I cannot. 1 3/4 hours from Washington DC. 10 minutes off of Exit 4 of Interstate 83 in Pa. You pay them–I do not. Please Include Your ZIP Code.

This has been gone over by a tech with the capacitors and resistors replaced and any bad tubes. Speaker is original with numbers of 220034 10J11 V1373. It is working and loud on both inputs. Hum does get louder as the volume is turned up but I can’t hear it when the guitar is playing. You can see the parts that were replaced in the bags I show and the old parts are included. Also a new feed power wire has been put on the amp. I have no tremolo pedal for this one but tested it with the pedal from my other one and tremolo works good. Cosmetically this is the ugliest one I have but case is sound. Some of the covering needs glued back down and there are some stains/soiling and missing covering as well as a hole in the top of the cabinet. Gibson logo on the grill side is missing and there is some wear to the cloth grill. Last to note is that the cover for the tubed section is not original and you need to drill the 4 holes to mount it yourself. It is the correct size and fit and a tweed material but does not quite match the rest of the amp. Base is 20″ wide x 8 3/4″ deep. Height is 17 1/4 with the carrying handle folded down. Age is late 1950′s to early 1960′s. Lettering on the metal plate is worn. I’m not sure if the nobs are original or not–they could be replacements but certainly close to original if they are. I will be listing several of these. Tubes are 5751, lettering is worn off on the next 2 and then a 5Y3. I believe the speaker code dates this one to 1960.

This has been gone over by a tech with the capacitors and resistors replaced and any weak tubes. It is working and loud. It has no hum at all until you plug a guitar cable into it and then it has a low hum/buzz on both inputs with more of a hum on input 1 than on input 2. Hum does get louder as you turn the volume up. You can see the parts that were replaced in the bags I show and the old parts are included. Also a new feed power wire has been put on. Cosmetically some of the covering needs glued back down and there are some stains. Quite a bit of wear to the lettering on the metal piece with the inputs and controls. Base is 20″ wide x 8 3/4″ deep. Height is 17 1/4 with the carrying handle folded down. Age is late 1950′s to early 1960′s. You can still read some of the Gibsonette lettering on the metal plate. I will be listing several of these with this one being the best looking. Tubes are a 5751 or 8513. Pair of 6V6 and a 5Y3GT. Speaker numbers are 220844 10J11 V1310. As an owner of a Gibsonette, the Gibson model number is GA-8. Basically this amp is a double GA-5 or a tweed Champ on steroids. It is a dual single ended Class A tube amp with 6V6. One of the best recording amps ever. Also great for amplified harmonica players. I believe the speaker code dates this one to 1958. The items I sell Might or Might not be from a smoke free home.
