Up for sale, a 1960 Magnatone Custom 250 tube amplifier in excellent condition and in perfect working order. A rarity in any condition, this vintage Magnatone is 100% original aside from a couple capacitors swapped to keep everything operating within original factory spec. Even the tube set is a complete vintage compliment from the likes of RCA, General Electric, Amperex, and Sylvania. One of the cooler and less common mid-size Estey-era Magnatone amps, the 250 boasts a single 12 alnico Oxford 12L5N speaker powered by a pair of 6973 power tubes. The characteristics of the 6973 valve are similar to the more common EL84, with a smooth midrange character and dynamic breakup at higher volumes with perfect top end bite. Whether you’re looking for surfy hollow twang or surprisingly thick overdrive, this Magnatone easily supplies a range of classic tube driven textures. Magnatone’s legendary frequency modulated pitch shifting vibrato effect is present on the Custom 250, with a width and warble unequalled in tube amp design. This vibrato circuit is in one word “lush, ” and while it functions in mono inside the speaker cabinet, a 1/4 extension speaker jack allows the effect to bounce back and forth between two cabs if desired. The vibrato can be engaged via the included original “doorstop” footswitch. The point-to-point circuit boasts the original Schumacher transformers which date to the 34th and 36th weeks of 1960. The original blue molded Ajax capacitors in the preamp have a smooth and musical character, and are the same caps at the heart of Fender’s Blackface era circuits. Other date codes of note include CTS pots which date to the 31st week of’60 and the original Oxford 12L5N speaker which dates to the 40th week of 60. The faceplate is notably clean, with all of the stock knobs and graphics present. The original smooth brown leatherette covering is in remarkable shape, and while the corners show some customary light wear and scuffs, the amp presents very well. The brown and gold grillcloth is similarly clean, and the original Magnatone logo is intact with a slightly bent chevron wing.

Up for sale, a 1947 Magnatone Troubadour model M-192-5 in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. A very rare first year production model, this 1×12 tube amp is extremely original and has been thoroughly gone over by our techs here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar to ensure optimal playability. With a preamp driven by octal tubes, the amp has a complex, sweet, and harmonically rich tone that sounds very natural and dynamic. The amp lets the voice of your guitar’s pickups shine through and has a distinctly different response with every guitar that’s put in front of it. Single coils can sound jangly and clear, while P-90s and humbuckers can push the circuit into rich overdrive. The circuit retains the original generously-sized. Transformer which dates to the 2nd week of’47, and the original output transformer is intact too, mounted to the speaker frame. The circuit retains the original pots in the true point-to-point wired circuit, with new signal and filter caps as necessary to ensure optimal performance. The speaker is the original alnico magnet Rola with a clean silver frame and date stamp from the 4th week of’47. The speaker has been reconed in the amp’s lifetime, and new leads from the output transformer to the chassis were cleanly soldered to the original leads post-recone. The faceplate is remarkably clean with all of the original graphics as well as the trio of white chicken head knobs. The amp is stocked with a complete compliment of vintage tubes including a 5Y3 rectifier and matched RCA 6V6 power tubes. The cabinet is wrapped in the original lightly textured brown material, not dissimilar from the bindery cloth used on later Magnatone models. The original brown and gold grillcloth is in remarkable shape, and the amp even retains the original metal “MEC-Magna Electronics Co” logo on the amp’s face as well as the stock leather handle. There’s a bit of light scuffing and wear on the edges of the enclosure, yet for a Magnatone that’s practically a prototype, it’s sure to satisfy discerning collectors and studio players alike.

Up for sale, a 1961 Magnatone Estey “Venus” Custom 480 vintage tube amplifier in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Fully serviced and extremely original with the original Oxford speaker and tweeter pair, this Magnatone is a studio-worthy example. Introduced as Magnatone’s flagship model to replace the earlier Magna Electric 280, the 480 adds tube driven spring reverb to the mix, the inclusion of which coincided with Magnatone’s sale to the Estey company. A true stereo amplifier featuring Magnatone’s legendary varistor powered true pitch vibrato, the Magnatone 480 sports two 12″ main drivers and a pair of 5×7″ midrange speakers as well for a very full and well-rounded tube tone. As the top of the line Magnatone amplifier, the 480 has one of the most complex true point-to-point hand wired circuit every conceived of for a tube amp, featuring thirteen tubes and one transistor. With all of the features on these Magnatones and a price point higher than the Fender Twin of the same era, very few were produced and even less show up on the market, let alone in perfect working order like the one offered here. The tone is just heavenly, with smooth tube breakup and two distinctly voiced channels, each with its own Loudness, Treble, and Bass controls. Add Magnatone’s distinctive sounding reverb on top of that swampy, thick vibrato and you’ve got a sound like no one else on your block. The circuit is freshly serviced, with a few new electrolytic caps as well as a few key swapped components in the preamp to ensure that everything is operating within factory spec. All of the original blue Ajax tone caps are intact in the preamp, and the CTS pots date to the 23rd week of 1961. The stock Schumacher power transformer dates to 1961, and the pair of output transformers have matching date codes from the 39th week of’61. The two primary speakers are the original Oxford 12L5N drivers with extremely clean frames and late’61 date codes. Which date to 1961. The two 5×7 midrange speakers (hidden by the chassis and not typically visible) are also original and still wired via the stock crossover. The cabinet retains the original brown textured bindery cloth, and this fragile covering is notably clean, with very limited wear on the edges of the enclosure. The original grillcloth has plenty of sparkle in the gold sparkle thread, and the original faceplace is nigh flawless with original silkscreen lettering. The faceplate retains a full compliment of stock knobs, and the two tone brown and gold faceplate is also in remarkable shape. The silkscreening is far thinner than Fender amps, so to find a 480 in this condition is quite uncommon in every respect. As Magnatone’s top of the line combo and an amp in production for less than two full years, this 480 is a studio and stage ready marvel, with the rich, three-dimensional vibrato and dynamic tone distinctive to this make and model.

I have owned this amp since the late 1970′s and it was my first guitar amp but I rarely used it. I think it was made in the 1950′s and it is a “Varsity” model. These originally came with matching lap steal guitars for students. It has all the same original parts and tubes that it came with and the same as when I got it. There is some wear and tear on the amp that you can see clearly in the photos. It displays really great and sounds wonderful. When you turn it on, it warms up then runs quiet and sounds fantastic! It has the original 6 speaker in it and the original tubes. Back in the 1980′s I replaced the electrical power cord with a nice flexible and safe one. It is the typical “mother of pearl” finish and this one is a gray and dark maroon color. These sound good and are very cool practice or recording amps! See the photos for the full story. It seems to sound about as loud as a Fender Champ amp? Either way, it is a rare amp and they are harder to find in this condition. I don’t use it anymore and it still works great so time to move it on. The item “Vintage Magnatone Varsity Works Great! USA Tube Amplifier All original” is in sale since Tuesday, October 23, 2018.
