I saw this at Guitar Center for around $600 which seemed killer. I did notice the replacement speakers, but it looks really good otherwise. I will post gut pictures and such and you guys can tell me if I did well or not. It is not the master volume one. (I did an audio demo that is uploading.)

$600 is a good price, the non-master volume silver face is considered better and more valuable than the master volume model (I owned a master volume one).

Seems like a steal for a clean looking amp. Plenty of money left over for earplugs and back meds!

Are the white Mallory capacitors original or updated?

Niiiice score! The white Mallory caps are original, 70s issue.

Ah so it does need a recap then? Dang. I was hoping it was updated. LOL They didn't look like the huge ones in my blackface Showman.

Those silver face twins keep popping up cheap in these parts, keep tempting me, $600 might get me to bite! Nice deal you got there.

For an amp of that age the power supply caps should be replaced regardless of condition, the rest can be tested in circuit and replaced as needed. Chances are most of the ones with DC on them will be leaking and need replacing.

Master volume came in about 1972 so I'd say you have a 1971 or 1970 there - the chassis serial numbers are notoriously unreliable for dating.

Came here to say this. Great score! Should sound better than your Showman, too!

Even though I have zero use for an amp that loud, I'd love a clean Fender Twin Reverb. Really beautiful sounding amps.

I'm going to get another one some day. There's nothing like a Twin.

Definitely pre 1971 as stated above and quite honestly looks exactly like my 69!

I'm gonna catch shit on here for this but throw some v30s in that lady! You will be pleasantly surprised! It works for dr z!

There's something magical that happens when you strum an open chord. Everybody needs a Twin.

Demo!

Money left over for an attenuator too.
