Fender amp, Part #2

1999-10-23 by Paul Schreiber

<<just taking a little break for MOTM, folks! Not to worry>>

OK, here is the scoop.

The head amp is a "chop job". It *is* a blackface (chassis #A09196) Super
Reverb Amp.
But somebody put the "guts" in a custom Fender-ish case. Has Tung-Sol 6L6
output
tubes, which means about 1967 (!?!). I'll post to rec.whatever and try to
pin it down. The original
Fenders had a "Tube Replacement Chart" stuck to the inside, that doubled as
a serial tag.
There is an encoded date on this tag, but mine's missing !  :(

The cabinet has 2 Sunn "Guitar Transducers" speakers, 15" each. There are 2
small tube ports
and a wooden "shelf baffle" inside. The back has a 1/4" plug and the 2
speakers are just in parallel.
The damn thing had 36 screws in the rear cover plate.

These is no name inside or out. This may be non-Fender as well.

Anyway, 2 tubes are dead (no filiments), all other are glowing. Input tubes
are all 12AX7/7025 types
with a 12AT7.
