It’s been in storage for a long time but still works well. I removed the cover, dusted it off and did a quick clean. I was able to connect the speakers and get some sound. All the knobs work and there are some scratches on the front and case. Please check the pictures carefully before purchasing.
This vintage Airline Tube Guitar Amp Model 9001B from the 1960s is a rare find for any musician. With only one speaker and one channel, this combo amp is perfect for an electric guitar. The 5 W power output make it a unique addition to any collection. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own this classic piece of music history. The overall condition of the amp is really good for its age. It sounds really good. The only thing that is not original from what I can tell is one of the rubber feet and the bottom was replaced with a small rubber pad. It has a faint smell of mildew From many years ago, it has been in a drive safe place for a very long time! This amp has normal scuffs and marks from normal use, but as you’ll see nothing major.

1964 Fender Concert Amp. Electric Guitar / Bass Amplifier Head. Comes with homemade denim cover. It had a badly damaged termite eaten wood cabinet that I felt was too far gone to refurbish, so I kept the amp on the side. Recently (Sept 2024) I took it to my current amp tech and he replaced the filter caps, power cord, lubricated the pots. Powered it for an hour and checked operation. He says it’s now in great shape and mentioned it’s a particularly good sounding amp with balanced power tubes and a perfectly set bias operation. What I decided to do a few years ago was use a leftover Bandmaster amplifier head cabinet for this amp because it fit it perfectly. What I wanted to do was re-create Leo Fender’s prototype piggy back head cabinet that he first began to develop in 1959. In the same year he began developing his new cabinet design for the entire amplifier line by moving the amplifier control panel to the top front of the cabinets for both the combo and piggy-back amplifier designs. The Fender Concert (model # 12) was the very first amplifier he designed with the control panel facing the front. Instead of using aircraft luggage linen (tweed), he used a rubber infused vinyl developed by General Tire called Tolex. For the grill cloth he used the acoustically invisible material called Saran developed by DuPont Chemical in 1955. This is the same tweed style grille cloth material he used throughout the entire amplifier line since 1955. I decided to recreate a replica of this prototype amp. I didn’t have the exact Tolex material but I used a close copy of Rough Chocolate Brown. I also used a re-issue Fender flat logo, all new hardware throughout with the exception of the piggy-back slide brackets, and a brown strap handle on the top. I read somewhere that Fender’s piggy-back prototype amplifier head was presented to the instrumental band, The Champs, (recorded the hit song “Tequila”) in 1960. Serial # A 05409. Tube Chart Stamp – Can’t Read. (26th week of 1964). Silver Stamp Inside Chassis. (45th week of 1964). (34th week of 1964). (36th week of 1964). Red number 16 stamp.

1967 Fender Bandmaster Amp. Electric Guitar / Bass Amplifier Head. I bought this amp many decades ago and used it briefly before adding it to my collection. This is an unusually clean drip edge model. A former owner drilled 3 holes in the back of the chassis partially obscuring the last digit of the serial number. I taped plastic over the tube chart to preserve it but retained all the original hardware. I replaced the original silverface faceplate with a repro blackface faceplate because it was an early drip edge model with two 1967 transformer coded dates and the output transformer is a 1964. I took it to my current amp tech and he replaced the filter caps, powered it for an hour and checked operation. He says it’s now in great shape. Serial # A 2937 1? Last # is cut out. (48th week of 1967). (45th week of 1967). (26th week of 1964).

This listing is for a Mullard 191 B81, 12AX7/ECC83 preamp tube. I unpacked a few of them today. I’ll be listing one more vintage Mullard because the third one was bad. This is an early Mullard. This is a long plate tube. This tube tested good with near perfect balance. For more vintage tubes check my other listings. Feel free to ask any questions that you have or to shoot me an offer. Thanks for looking and happy hunting.
One of the earliest Teisco amps made and only a couple are known to exist. Someone started to restore/refurbish the amp and replaced some capacitors and wire. The work was done well but was never finished. Cool piece of history and would make a great addition to any collection. Outer dimensions are 11″h x 9″w, 5d. Get it while you can, the chances of finding another one are slim to none. A must have for any Teisco collectors.
1969 Fender Bantam Bass. Electric Guitar/Bass Amplifier Head. This is a pretty rare amp and the only one I’ve ever seen. This model was made 1969 through 1971 and is the direct predecessor of the Bassman 10 amp. I found this amp used in a music store in Honolulu back in the late 70′s; it was working perfectly so I used it briefly. The power transformer and the output transformer both date to 1969 but the choke dates to 1972. We are not sure why because they all appear original. I had my cabinet maker fabricate an easily removable duplicate baffle board with identical grille for the cut-down head cabinet. Recently (Dec 2024) I took it to my current amp tech and he replaced the filter caps, lubricated the pots and switches, powered it for an hour and checked operation. He says it’s now in great shape. We had our cabinet builder cut the amp down and we preserved the tube chart. (Without speaker, please see photos). This is now a more reasonable approx. The tube chart is cut out from the original cabinet and kept on the original wood since that part of cabinet was cut down. The only thing that makes sense to us now is cutting the cabinet down to a head so that you have the flexibility of use with other speaker cabinets and easier transportation. Everything else is all original to the amp. By turning this amp into a head, it can now be used for ANY amplification needs! Public address, bass, electric piano, organ, accordion, guitar, harmonica, steel guitar.. This platform makes an excellent bass amp paired with a suitable cabinet (8 ohm or greater)- complete flexibility and much more convenient with its increased portability. Serial # A 02588. 1 Sylvania 5U4 GB. 2 Sylvania 6L6 GC. Chassis Side Black Marker. (33rd week of 1969). All other pots dated 1969. (52nd week of 1969). (38th week of 1972). (43rd week of 1969).
