I happened upon a very early 1960 Concert a few years ago (January 1960). Center Volume, 5G12. Jensen P10Rs dated from late ’59. And also has the “45249” output transformer. Of course it sounds spectacular. But I only use it at home. It’s way too heavy for me to take out to gigs.
I have one with the pulse on the back panel. I love it. I just picked it up last week from the original owner; he is in his 80’s. He put it up for sale cheep cause the tolex is gone, the vibrato doesn’t work and it has a Jensen 16 inch speaker from 1951. I drove 100 miles to get it and gave him what he asked.
Were`nt the center volume concerts the same one as the early 1960 models made in 1959 ?? Does either one you owned have the pulse cap on the back panel ?
