1960 DeArmond R5-T
The smallest of the rare DeArmond amps, this R-5T has all the grit of a Tweed Champ! Known widely for their archtop pickups, DeArmond made smaller combo amps from 1959 to 1964, with the R5 being the smallest option available. Equipped with high-powered transformers, this particular amp is in good shape and has had service over the years to keep it sounding as it should. The cord has been converted to a three-prong and the switch and pilot light have been changed. The internal caps have been serviced, repaired, and some replaced. Although the Tremolo circuit has been serviced, it has a quiet and subtle effect. The outside tolex and control plate have some patina and wear, but nothing that would impact the functionality of the amp.
Overall Condition: 7.5, patina and light wear
