I just scored a 1960 Brownface. It had all the tolex removed and the speakers were gone and a Jensen 16″ speaker was installed. The vibrato needs some repair but all else is working fine. I love the sound and the cool factor is over the top. The previous owner covered it with what looks like epoxy paint and sprinkles; not a bad look. I’m thinking of keeping it like it is and fixing the vibrato.

I’m working on a white Concert amp an export model A/63 that only has 4 pre amp tubes. I can’t find any information about it. Anything would be appreciated

Scored a ’63 from Larry Briggs bitd for 500.00! No tolex, some knucklehead pulled the 4×10’s and replaced with a 12″ celestion. .. urk… Rick Potter (R.I.P.) tuned her up, re-tolexed it pink, 4×10 jensens installed, oxblood grill cloth! Coolest amp i ever owned next to my 64 Super!

I don’t see cabinet dimensions listed, so I measured my June ’60: 24″W x 24″H x 10-1/2″D

Both my 5G12 with the standard knob set up and 5G12 with the center volume 5G12 set up were built in 1959 and have the pulse caps over the “hole to nowhere” on the back of their respective chassis. And yes, many blackface combos do have plywood baffle boards, but many don’t–I’ll personally take the shake rattle & roll of the plywood over the consistency of the particle board, but, to each his own brother.
