The Amp Garage

To anyone else curious. I also purchased from Fran recently, and he couldn't be a nicer guy.
Excellent experience all around. I had never used the international tracking, and it was flawless.
It took 7-8 days from Spain to Wisconsin.

What makes you believe that tag strip is original? Out of hundreds(thousands?) of Fender amps I've seen, I have never seen that.
There's a lot that looks "not factory" in that amp.

Yeah well, I’m thinking someone who can’t just own one of something great and enjoy it but has to own everything and tell everybody about is….a creepy scumbag. CW Yeah well, If I had to "cancel" every "Creepy Scumbag" from the list of musicians in history, there wouldn't be much to listen to. What'...

Livin' the dream right there. Good for him, he earned it.

Another here.

Thanks for the information, it’s good to know.

You're welcome. It definitely helped me when I had one come through here.

CSA test is a safety certification like UL (Underwriters laboratories). The W.A. is probably quality control person.

"Lily" wired the amp. She wired my 1955 Champ too.
That loose capacitor is one of the power supply caps. Other than that, the speaker, and an additional cathode resistor it looks all original.

During that time period the boards came dipped in wax from the factory. Every one I've ever worked on was like that.
It makes for some interesting smells when removing components...

And another one bites the dust...

What were they thinking using them on all those recordings...
