Description

The tweed covering is in great condition for it's age. This amp is like many from the era, having been converted from Octal to a 9-pin preamp tube at the Fender factory. Being that the circuit is a 5C2 (intended for a 6SC7 tube) this makes for an interesting transition-era hybrid as far as circuits go. A 5751 tube has been used, as it is the closest 9-pin equivalent to the 6SC7 - though some conversion would need to be done before a traditional 12AX7 could be used. All electrolytic caps have been replaced, along with the power cord, and 2 power resistors. Otherwise the circuit is completely original.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
