Circa 1961 Watkins Westminster Tremolo
If you think this circa-1961 Watkins Westminster looks cool, you should hear how great this little amp sounds! Watkins was one of the first UK-based amplifier manufacturers, and the Westminster was the first model to be mass-produced on any scale. This particular amp is most likely from the early 1960s, as it has an onboard tremolo, turquoise covering, four separate inputs, and 14W output. Internally, some caps have been replaced to ensure the amp functions as it should. Since these were made for the UK market, the power is set up for 220V and would either require a step down or conversion for US outlets.
