Vintage Tube Amp

Road Ready Vintage Marshall 100 Watt Super Lead Tube Guitar Amp Head. Original transformers and case, no holes, hacks or circuit mods. The face and back panels are clean, no damage and all lettering is intact and legible. I have owned this hand wired Marshall amplifier since at least 1999. It has never left my climate controlled studio in all the years I have owned it. Vintage 1972 Marshall 100 Watt Super Lead. Will last another 53+ years and be worth more after all the modern chinese made junk with their microscopic, flammable, surface mount components, noisy, toneless circuit designs & irreparable flimsy printed circuit boards have burned up, been discarded &/or traded to Guitar Center for MORE modern chinese junk.. !! Why do the manufacturers continue to sell chinese junk? 50% of my repair business involves vintage & modern chinese offerings that burn up, are unreliable, problematic, costly to repair and DECLINE in value.. ! EXPERIENCE TRUE VINTAGE TONE, RELIABILITY & INCREASING VALUE. Original hand wired circuit board. Installed are my high quality, road ready, Ampmedic power supply/filter capacitors. Installed are 4-Russian EL34′s closely matched within 4mA, plate/watt dissipation (bias) set to the industry standard of approx. High quality and reliable Sprague Atom caps have replaced the old board electrolytics. All 4-power tube sockets have been replaced for secure tube mounting. Installed is a 3-prong power cable with earth grounding, so the not needed Polarity switch has been disconnected. Carry strap and hardware are almost new. The case is in remarkably good condition for it’s age, with minor Tolex damage to the corners which have been touched up and almost unnoticeable. Aka Ampmedic Tolex Protector and Enhancer has been applied to the Tolex for a tough as nails, wet look shine that dries hard to the touch. Dirt and hand prints can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth to maintain the like new, long lasting, superior finish. “The Juice” is not the sticky, never dry goop you apply to your tires, etc. The flimsy, defective and often misplaced ohms plug functionality has been removed and replaced with dummy-proof? , hard wired output connections. The chassis, pots, inputs/outputs have been flushed with Ampmedic Dielectric Wash and lubed with NU-TROL Control Cleaner (see pics). I do NOT use Contact cleaner for Control pots. Contact cleaner is designed for momentary contacts and NOT CONTROL POTS. !! I replaced all the polystyrene mustard caps, which, over time, become stressed at the wire connection points to the cap body and separate. Especially prevalent in early HIWATT amps with their especially short leads. Installed now are reliable, high quality and open sounding Sprague Orange Drop Polypropylene caps. Because this early Marshall has the high B+, 490vdc mains trafo, this amp is loud and clean like all early S/L’s should be with air between the notes and more frequencies being revealed with a black background and extremely low noise floor even when increasing the volume. Truly world class tone and reliability you’ll enjoy. You will be as proud to own this vintage investment as I have.. Stay tuned for more vintage electronics from my collection priced to sell. !

I guarantee that it will work as described when you receive it (48 hrs), with no additional specified time, as I cannot be responsible for 50+year old vintage electronics. You will receive simple (as in common sense) startup and shut down procedures. I VALUE MY FEEDBACK, SO WILL YOU.. !!

Electric Guitar / Steel Guitar. Rumor has it that the Motor City Madman himself, Ted Nugent, challenged CBS’s amp designer, Ed Jahns to increase the power of a Twin Reverb using a typical 2 12 inch speaker cabinet. This is at a time when competition from other manufacturers such as Marshall, Hiwatt, and Mesa Boogie were building more and more powerful amps, and Ed wanted to top them all. He also developed the most comprehensive equalizer tone section that’s been in any Fender amp. This amp has power to spare and was so powerful that Ted Nugent only needed six of them (with Dual Showman speaker cabinets for a concert). This amp is serious business because it is so loud and clean at 180 watts. Steel guitar players are very fond of this amp design. The one and only drawback of the. The compact amp in a typical Twin Reverb cabinet, is the ridiculous heavy weight added by it’s speakers with oversized magnet structure. The only thing that makes sense to me now is cutting the cabinet down to a head so you have the flexibility of use with other speaker cabinets and transportation. We had our cabinet builder cut the amp down and we preserved the reverb spring unit, footswitch, and the tube chart. This amp is still complete with out speakers. This amp is now a more reasonable approx. Recently (July 2024) I took it to my current amp tech and he replaced the filter caps, pilot light, powered it for an hour and checked operation. He says it’s now in great shape. The reverb “tray” or “tank” or “spring unit” is located where Fender originally had it installed – on the inside bottom of the cabinet. Our cabinet builder has left enough space for it to fit. The reason why we don’t “install” the reverb tank (screw it down inside the cabinet) is so the user can position it how they want it, to the right side of the cabinet away from the tubes or even outside of the cabinet itself since it has about 18inches of cable connecting to the back of the amp chassis. Only the original cabinet has been shortened in height – speakers have been removed – everything else is located where it’s always been including the foot-switch. By turning these amps to heads, they 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 (4 ohm or greater)- complete flexibility and much more convenient with its increased portability. Chassis Black Ink Side Stamp. (19th week of 1976). (10th week of 1977). (34th week of 1976). It might serve the buyers purpose to bring up the power slowly with a variac since these used amp heads are over 50 years old and have not been used for a few decades. Our amp tech has only replaced the needed parts -(filter caps & power cords as specified) to just get them turned on and running for an hour. Please see a skilled amp tech before extended use. The operation of the amps requires that they be regularly serviced for optimal performance.

All our tubes have been tested for. GAS SHORTS TRANSCONDUCTANCE & EMISSIONS. These tubes have been tested – and are considered NOS ; they meet or exceed the published data set for GM. NOS tubes fall within the Gm characteristic range of an average tube, as published in the RCA RECEIVING TUBE MANUAL, which states Individual tubes, like any manufactured product, may have characteristics that range above or below the values given. Test Results are ALWAYS available upon request (if not photographed). Send me a message! I might have what you need! Tubes will be packaged in white boxes – if the original boxes are not photographed in the listing or stated as “with original box” they are not included. 90 % of our tubes are Tv7 tested, our tv7 is Calibrated and our go to tester. The tv7 tester has been around a long time and is a trusted tester for military, who had high standards for reliable tubes that would not fail in critical conditions. Military standards were tubes needed to meet 60/65% which they established as (minimum value). There isn’t a “specific” indicator or result or data set anywhere that universally designates a vacuum tube as “new old stock” when using a tester nor for what test result is given. The best way is to calculate the GM – and check the data sheet for each tube – a “nos”tube should typically measure between the average and maximum micromhos(GM). A common misconception of tube testing is that every unused tube, new or vintage, should test at 100% of the meter scale of the tester. A tube was considered acceptable/new/ passed standards if it tested between the specified minimum and maximum on a tube data sheet or the minimum value specified on the tester (tv7 is minimum is 65%). Tubes do not give the same reading across testsrs – even the same model tester will give a different reading sometimes. If you don’t like the sound of a tube, so long as it is still in the same condition as arrived message me. I DO NOT OFFER A TUBE ROLLING SERVICE, vintage audio tubes typically require a burn in period, that’s where the tube sounds the best. Please see my notes on noise tests below. We have a few different testers available to ensure the quality of the tube (as some tubes can not be tested on the tv7). Tv7 testing is tedious and I spend hours testing tubes and double testing tubes – if you notice a mistake(like a picture doesn’t match the title) please be gracious and let me know. UNLESS PHOTOGRAPHED WITH THE ORIGINAL BOX- tube will come in repackaged white boxes- 50-90 year old cardboard packaging doesn’t hold together well, not in my hands anyways. We have over the last 20 years amassed a huge collection of vintage amps/ parts / tubes and have decided to downsize that collection. Every tube has been marked for tracking and security purposes – these marks wipe off easily and without the mark no return will be accepted. Sound quality is tremendously SUBJECTIVE. Tube tester NOISE TEST. This is a very marginal test, only for special checking. This test needs sound amplification; hearing / listening to noise with headphones would indicate a real disaster inside a tube (THE shorts test WOULD already BE evidence OF THIS). There is nothing wrong with performing that noise test however. That test is not going to tell you whether the tube will be silent in your SET (single ended triode) amp or in anything else. Ultimately, the best way of testing a tube for microphonics is in an actual chassis or amplifier similar to one in which it is intended to be used. Since amps have a wide variety of circuit designs and tube placement, this test is most effective in YOUR AMP or one that is almost identical. Hence, most people advertising tubes as tested for Noise or Microphonics are probably NOT testing them in any meaningful way FOR YOU OR YOUR AMP. “Noise” and “Microphonics” are often buzzwords for other issues. There is a small percentage of tubes that have a problem with noise but far less than most people think. In properly designed circuits objectionable “tube noise” is seldom found. In other words, it is a rare tube that will be noisy when used in most circuits. Always check the data sheet of the tube you plan to use. PLEASE message me BEFORE you open a return. PLEASE NOTE: Tube silkscreen (lettering on the tubes) is VERY fragile. It can be wiped off and destroyed VERY easily.

1959 Fender Bassman 5F6-A Amplifier. This vintage Bassman has the original tweed covering, grill cloth and all of the main components are original. Only some of the capacitors have been changed. The code on the tube chart has worn off but the Chassis Code is “BM02387″ which dates it to 1959. See photos for the rest of the stamps and markings. It has recently been serviced, has been fully tested and is in excellent working order. With that said, only the minimum was done to keep as many original parts intact as possible. It is an old, vintage amp and may need further service if you plan to gig with it or put a lot more miles on it. The exterior has some general wear but it’s very clean overall. There is some discoloration on the top from where it was in a road case and the foam reacted to it, but this was cleaned up by the repair shop. There is some corrosion on the top chrome plate also. You will also be permanently blocked from purchasing my items in the future. BOXES I have blocked P. Boxes from this listing. OFFERS & PACKAGE DEALS Please note that I do not consider offers!
