1967 Blackface Fender Twin sold locally please close
No speakers. Cabinet is rough (non-original grill cloth) but all hardware is there and in decent shape. There is a split in the cabinet on the right side panel which according to a luthier friend is an easy repair - there is no buzzing when playing.
All transformers/chokes date to '67. AB763 circuit is not messed with. Filter caps were replaced with Spragues. Original reverb pan. I had the amp gone through by Greg Leon in May last year. He replaced a few tubes (I have the bill). It's not been played since then for more than an hour - I intended to convert it to a 15" speaker for pedal steel, but have too much stuff on the go at the moment. The reverb tube needs replacing - Greg put an NOS in there but it started whining after playing and I dint get round to swapping it out.
I'm also including a Larry Rodgers pine 1 x 15" baffle with aged grill cloth (looks very authentic).
This amp sounds really good!
Local pickup only in Playa del Rey Ca 90293

This is a great price for a Blackface Twin. Heck, Silverface Twins in much worse shape sell for more. I bet if some 6-string guitar players knew about this it would have been sold by now. Someone should take advantage of this classic! Seems like aside from a cabinet repair (which is super easy to do) and a new reverb tube (which cost nothing) it's ready to go. Most importantly it's apparently had a cap job. What more could you ask for for this price?!
