You are looking at a Harmony H205 amplifier. The original 12 in Rola speaker ein code dates it as either August of 1953 or 1963. These first appeared in the 1950′s, so I’m guessing 1953. The overall condition of the amplifier is very good considering the age. There are small scuffs here and there and the grill is somewhat faded. When I bought it a few years ago, I had the cord changed to a three prong, replaced the handle and replaced some capacitors. It has been played in my studio since then. It has two 6V6 tubes and puts out 10 to 15watts. It has 2 guitar inputs and a microphone input or for third guitar. There are 2 volume controls and a tone control that also turns the amp on and off. There is some 60 cycle hum with higher volume which is common in these amps. The amp has a nice overdriven tone when cranked. There is a schematic stapled to the inside of the amp. This is your opportunity to get a cool vintage hand wired point to point amp made in Chicago, USA. I gladly answer any questions you may have and good luck.

Check out this mid 50′s Magnatone Starlet amp that I hot rodded into a Fender narrow panel tweed champ! Originally the starlet is an ACDC amp with no power transformer. These typically sound kinda weak, SO I gutted the circuit and added a vintage new old stock stancor power transformer from the 50′s, kept the original speaker and output transformer and built a narrow panel 5f1 champ circuit inside! The results is a super hot rodded maggy! TONS of hot gain and sounds fantastic with every single guitar. Great for low output guitars too like a kay thin twin etc because it has so much gain! The video I made with les paul is only on 3! Grounded cable ALL new caps and resistors. Original cab is in fantastic shape and even has most the original waterslide decal on the front. I have never seen a starlet in this nice of shape. Lots of natural wear and tear. Original button alnico speaker that works great but I cannot promise how long it will uphold if you abuse the amp with pedals or put a metal guitar through it. Watch the video and see how awesome it sounds! This is a killer piece!

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! I will not end any listing early so please do not ask! I will not respond to any questions asking for any of the above!
Up for sale, a 1958 Fender “High Power” Tweed Twin 5F8-A in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This Twin features a very original circuit, rehoused in an replica speaker cabinet and loaded with a pair of era-correct Jensen P12N alnico magnet speakers. Occupying a very narrow window in Fender’s golden age, the 5F8-A Twin was the pinnacle of Tweed era evolution and unmatched in power and headroom, first available in late 1957 and retired by January, 1960. This example was made in January of’58, and the “High Power” iteration of the Twin is arguably the most highly sought after vintage Fender amp ever produced. A whole different animal than the “Low Power” iteration offered through most of the’50s, the High Power 5F8-A pushes 85 watts via a matched quad of 5881 (6L6GC) power tubes with a single GZ34 rectifier. Essentially the same animal as the 5F6-A Bassman, yet with four power tubes, more massive transformers and a 2×12 speaker configuration, the 5F8-A Twin has all the hallmarks of its Bassman brother, with a Mid control and four-input design, allowing both greater tailoring of the tone and the ability to jumper the channels for additional interactivity and gain. Incredible headroom, touch-sensitivity and rich, textured growl are hallmarks of this Twin. The trebles bite, yet with a smooth, harmonically-rich character, the midrange is gutsy, and the low end is broad and focused, with notable depth that interacts famously with a broad range of pickups. The circuit retains its original Triad transformers, and all of the original yellow Astron capacitors are intact in the preamp. The smaller electrolytics in the preamp have been upgraded with high quality Spragues, and the power supply has been recapped with Spragues as well. All of the original pots are present, and two additional 1/4 jacks have been added to the righthand side of the chassis. The inside of the chassis retains its “HA” date stamp from January of 1958. The tube complement includes a matched quad of Mesa-branded power tubes, with a Ruby rectifier and a couple vintage preamp tubes from the likes of Telefunken and Westinghouse. The speakers are a matched pair of vintage Jensen P12Ns with clean dark green frames and date stamps from’62. The cabinet is a modern replacement, faithfully replicating the materials and size of the original. The faceplate retains its bright chrome plating, and some of the original white silkscreen text is still present, along with all of the chicken head knobs.

Collector Owned and Never Gigged. Best One Out There. Made in the USA!! Looks, Works, and Sounds Awesome! The Carvin Vintage 16 simply drips tone. The SOAK control takes you from from chiming clean tones with rich midrange presence to a filling upper-midrange snarl that defines its American “Tweed” sound. The modern vintage design incorporates three 12AX7 preamp and two EL84 valves. The power amp in its normal “PENTODE” mode delivers a strident 16 watts RMS of valve output power. Switching to the “TRIODE” mode produces 5 watts of incredibly sweet spongy harmonics, ideal for both mic’d recording and small stage rigs. The sound possibilities are only limited by your fingers and imagination! Output: 16 watts / 5 Watts, Pentode / Triode into 8ohms. 3x 12AX7 Preamp Tubes, 2x EL84 Power Tubes. 1 Meg Passive tone controls for broad adjustment range.
