Lovely sounding 1961 Brown Super. Even by the standards of the Brownface era, this is a rare amp. It has an early Triad export mains transformer, the kind that you use connectors i nside the chassis to change the voltage. This was fitted at the factory and means it runs OK in the UK without the need for a stepdown. The Output Transformer has been changed for a good quality Hammond at some point in the recent past. The speaker are good early 70s Alnico CTS 10"s, presumably taken from a Super Reverb. The most unusual thing about this amp is what we are certain is a factory installed solid state rectifier, which won't find a schematic for. There's no tab on the transformer to run a tube rectifier, even if you wanted to. Historic piece, but practical recording amp, too, used on Prefab Sprout's "Andromeda Heights" album. Missing back panel & footswitch. Show more
