Loyd Davis, (The Surf Raiders; Longboard Ranch) wants to sell his ultra-toneful pre-Master Volume AB-763 Fender Dual Showman, the ultimate Surf Rig, (The Gomez "Surfer" was a reproduction of the Fender Dual Showman).
Worn-out caps and resistors were replaced some years ago.
The 2X15 cab is loaded with near-new JBL E-130 speakers, rated 150 Watts RMS, each. The cab can handle 300 Watts. These speakers have never been even close to their limits.
Where it counts to the serious surf guitarist, this amp is PRIMO. Cosmetically the head is VG to VG+. The speaker cab shows cosmetic wear.
For $400 LESS than a reissue Twin Reverb, (with printed circuit boards and standard Eminence speakers) you can have the REAL MCCOY, a vintage Tone Monster, ideal for high volume Lead Guitarists, playing a Surfin' Sunday at the HBISM, or that vintage car show at Irvine Meadows.
Photos, including the Date codes on the Power and Output Transformers, the interior of the chassis, various views of the chassis, amp head, speaker cab, and speakers, are readily available via email.
Email me at - wetreverb@yahoo.com - and I will promptly send the photos. The amp is at Loyd's home just off the Antelope Valley Freeway (Rt 14) in Acton, California, (15 minutes from the San Fernando Valley. You can call Loyd at 661-607-4883 between 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM.
