I thought we had the cleanest Brown Tolex Concert amp ever, then this one showed up! Yes, we have two, and they are both amazing.
This amp was purchased from the son of the original owner. It hadn't been used in years and years when I purchased it, so I put it directly on the bench for evaluation.
The filter caps had to be replaced, a standard maintenance move. I enclosed the new caps in the original Astron outer shells.
The vibrato wasn't happening quite right, requiring a capacitor swap in that part of the circuit. If you don't know about the vibrato in these amps you're missing out. It is super lush and swimmy - there is nothing quite like it.
I changed the power cord out with a grounded one in gray for a more authentic look. The ground switch and "death cap" have been bypassed.
The amp is otherwise all-original and is the cleanest vintage Fender amp I've found, and I've found quite a bunch!
The amp absolutely kills. The clean tones are so warm, and when you push it it is completely amazing.
I left the Amperex, Zenith and Tung Sol tubes in the amp. They sound so good and they all were tested and passed nicely.
The amp will ship in two boxes - be prepared for some assembly on arrival. Shipping will be a bit expensive. Shipping as one unit can result in chassis damage if the package is dropped in transit.
