Re: Vintage Fender 1967 Blackface Twin Reverb on Craigslist

Bronco (ahospodor) - 23 Jan 2006 10:19:33

Thanks for all of the interest.
Bruce D. is correct, as I have already received offers in excess of
the eBay or Seattle music stores. However, every BF Twin Reverb I
encounter in a music store has (a) some modification(s) done, (b)none
have their original speakers and (c) very few have their original
transformers.
Sure, one could buy a $1299 amp, a pair of correct speakers from Norm
on gbase.com ($400), a quad of RCA black plates ($600), and perhaps
some Sprague Atom filter and bypass caps ($50). This pretty much puts
you at the top end of the VG Price Guide.
I repaired every aspect of this amp myself, and have the engineering
credentials to back it up. Of course, I recognize that one can always
buy a shredded amp running sino/ruski/yugo tubes into celestion
speakers from a addict for a lot less. In the long run, its what you
spend to get the sound you want.
Three more local folks will be test driving this amp, so it looks to
be sold.
best,
