That is truly gorgeous and clean as a pin.  That's the epitome of "all original" right there.
:?  :-*

That thing is looking like it's not been turned on in half a century, but regardless of how it may sound DAMN that thing belongs in a museum!

Did you/do you own that?!?!!

That is one case where I'd leave the original caps and 2-prong cord.  I might be inclined to not play that one.  I'd just let it sit as a picture of Fender history.  Sacrilege, I know.


she's a beauty, but unfortunately I never owned it...great piece to look at though.

lemme dig around my HD...I got a couple more you might like...

I had one just like that! I popped the speaker on the first day I had it  ;D
It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

Yeah, I traded it for a JTM 45 combo a few days after that.

When I used to live with my dad I bought amps and guitars all the time. I'd put Nolan to shame  8) ;D I used to spend my days off hunting through pawn shops. It's not really worth it anymore they charge Ebay prices usually. At the time I think I paid $600 for the tremolux and the Marshall cost more than double that and I got it straight up. At the time a good trade, a good little amp but it really didn't suit my needs at the time.
