Notes: Changed power cord and a couple caps to service the vibrato.
These have been referred to as the "Buddy Holly Amp", and feature a true stereo pitch-shifting vibrato. This is created through having a full two output transformer power section, with mirrored pairs of 6973 power tubes. The stereo vibrato effect is truly unique, and is one of the most interesting modulation sounds you can find. This one shows moderate signs of previous wear, with some paint flaking off of the control panel, but structurally it's still in great shape. It has a changed power cord, along with a couple caps to help service functionality in the vibrato section, but is otherwise all original.
