Be careful of those early Vibro Kings. They seem to
have some reliability issues. However, one that has
seen extensive use has most likely been corrected

Stay connected, organized, and protected. Take the tour:
The early Vibro King had a el84 driver tube for the
reverb, which was run at a voltage beyond the spec.
voltage the tube could handle. There is a fix for the
problem, a good tech shoud be able to figure it out.
Fender later changed to a 6v6 for a reverb driver.

Joe our other guitarist has a VK and the reverb has been sqealing
lately and feeding back. I'm thinking he's just going to 'spring' for
the outboard. I have a Dual Pro and I prefer the outboard 'cause I can
run it through the effects loop and it comes out a little cleaner that
way. The inboard serves as a nice back-up though.
