Hi all,
Just like to share this with you. I bought it from a local music store in 1973 aged 18 having joined a band. It was loud and looked great.
The images are post cosmetic 'repairs' taken on a smart phone. Unfortunately, I'm not having much luck uploading other images at the moment, (before repairs and gut shots etc).
Regarding date of manufacture, all the components or style features point to late 1966/67. 1 speaker was replaced before I bought it, reason unknown but the other original speaker,
has T1221 on the frame and 24LL on the gasket, (24th Nov 1966). the pot's have the code 10-6 2M (ohm symbol) LN. Perhaps someone can enlighten me date wise.
Regarding 'repairs', new EC Collins grill cloth was purchased. A new logo and gold piping was fitted. Where the Tolex was damaged or missing i used material from the bass of the cabinet.
A new lower back cover was made and covered with green Tolex and tinted to, as far as possible, match the black/green original covering. Both rear cover fixing screws are not original.
Missing all four feet too. Point me in the right direction for good replicas someone.
Unless anything else was changed from when it left the factory until it came into my ownership then everything else is original and unchanged.
All the controls work as they should, no scratching, the Tremelo speed and intensity work with the foot switch and as far as I can tell, no speaker rub.
After years of being gigged extensively and rattled around in the back of an old Transit van, I feel extremely lucky that it is in the condition it is in regarding the electronics and other
components considering its age and use.
Nowadays it gets warmed up and played through for an hour two pretty regularly at home. I'm not a collector, just lucky to have bought this particular amp all those years ago.
Thanks for looking.
