Thanks Bobby,
Do you know if the caps have been done tet? Is this a personal amp of yours?
Looking forward to the pics of just the exterior and open back asap.

I do not.My dad's best friend bought the amp new in 65.He passed in 2000.I bought the amp from his widow last August.[This message was edited by Bobby Boggs on 23 October 2004 at 10:06 AM.] |

Probably original. Do you know if it hums badly, or at all? If it does hum, it's usually dried out caps, or maybe it just doesn't know the words.  |

I'v got a 72 Super that has been recapped, retubed(Svetlanas)and Blackfaced by Billy Penn of Penn Musical Instruments (pennalizer.com)
It also has a on/off pot on the vibrato that allows you to take it out of the equation and add a little more power and better tone! $900 plus shipping.

Great pics! While I deliberate on this purchase, I'd like to share the 'expert' opinion of my associare Myles Rose, tech support at Groove Tubes, to whom I had forwarded these images.
"This amp is VERY original. The larger caps on the board do not even show signs of lealage.
The caps are proper as are the speakers.
This amp looks to be in very good shape visually. There is no discoloration on the screen resistors, which means the amp's bias was never set too far out of whack.
Nice amp" |

Look at that wiring and then imagine it with a glass of draft beer spilled into it when the bassman stepped up to the mike to sing...that's what happened to me! It was never the same! I went to SS after that.

The caps do look ok for
their age, I can't see the
filter caps under the pan.
You can count of replacing
them just so you will have peace
of mind knowing that they are fresh.
I don't think electrolytic caps
disturb the tone. Just my opinion.

How the heck did beer get into the wiring of a Super Reverb? Did someone drill holes in the top?
