As always, no affiliation.

Seems a tad expensive - but it's relatively all original. Especially the transformer which is almost always replaced.

Hope someone scoops it up. If it was 1,000 cheaper I'd buy it to match my own head!

Just adding. If this is indeed a 61 then it may be the rarer 6G14 NON 'A' circuitry. Which is what Dick Dale had.

Hmm...I wonder what makes you think it's a 6G14 when the tube chart says 6G14 A (the A in pen)?
If the tube chart said just 6G14 and it was a 1960 (not 1961), I would have said it's more plausible.
As mentioned before in another thread, it seems not very many of the "non A" variant were made before they were switched.
As to what Dick Dale had, not sure, he had a lot of amps over the years, many of them with wheat grill cloth (so if original, definitely 6G14-A). I am certainly not an expert on Dick Dale's gear, though.

The Scimitars

Dick's "number one" was a 6G14-A that was originally 8 ohm but had a 4 ohm Twin OT installed.
