Hi Bill!Being's it's a '69, this would most likely be a nonmaster volume model. These make great steel amps for sure!

If this is a 69, this is before Fender got in and monkeyed with the design. I believe the circuits on this are the same as a blackface.

More important than the amp being made before Master Volume was added (I think Master Volume sounds fine in a Twin Reverb), this amp was made with the old baffle design. This baffle is not set into a routed slot as are the baffles a couple of years later. It can be easily removed and switched for a new baffle for a 15" speaker.
At $8.00 to $9.00 per pound, this is a pretty good deal for a TR.

The transition from blackface to silverface for the TR was 66,some of the early 66 amps have the silver control panel but retain the blackface amp design.Some pickers say the SF amps are better steel amps than the BF.
