Local Pick-up in Massachusetts ONLY! $1200
Bought in 2002, my tech Blackfaced it, did a cap job, and gave it a grounded 3-prong power cord.
I was going to glue back the tolex on the bottom, but I'll let the next owner decide what he wants to do.
Tubes look like the original (RCA) tubes, except for newer rectifier tube that my tech put in when he blackfaced.
Oh, btw it sounds AMAZING! You must bring your weapon of choice to my house to plug into this before you buy!

I have a '71 Pro Reverb that is my desert island amp. I've played through tons of rigs, and it is by far the best combo of tone, portability and gig-worthy punch.
And I know lots of guys love piggybacks, but these things will surf like there's no horizon.
Best of luck on the sale!

Thanks, TyPierce!
Yeah, I feel kinda dumb selling it because it's the best sounding amp I own (well, my Princeton Reverb is awesome too), but I'm just not playing larger/louder gigs, and my Princeton & Deluxe Reverbs seem to be handling things just fine. I'm trying to buy my 1st house, and have been putting everything for sale that I don't absolutely need. This is one of those things that I won't at all be bummed about if it doesn't sell, but it would be nice in the hands of someone that will put it to better use.
Anyway, thanks again for the comment!

That is one of the BEST sounding amps I've ever heard. It should have already had the blackface circuit as it is an early '68 with the black lines. Either way, that amp rules! Good luck with the sale.

Ha! You guys are killin' me! I'm trying to forget how good this amp sounds so I can be okay w/ selling it, and you guys just keep remindin' me. 
Well, the economy is so crappy that it prolly ain't going anywhere anyway.
But thanks for the bump Matt22! Cool band u got there too! I'm hopin' that when I relocate I'll be able to start a little surf band and do a little giggin' myself!

That's a lovely amp. Honestly, if that were mine there's no way I'd sell it. Not unless I were destitute and had to live in a van down by the river.
