Comments: Early models had the baffle screwed in from the front. These models also had the channels reversed with the Bright channel on right and the Normal channel on the left.

I swapped a Mex Strat for an original 63 Deluxe. The tubes were replaced with the proper NOS and the usual suspect caps in the “dog house” and it sounded great until the surround on the original gave up it’s ghost. A great friend (who also provided the tubes) gave me an exact (used) but in great condition exact replacement speaker. I love this amp and, as a previous poster mentioned, my 63 Jag and the matching 63 Reverb are a great musical input for this amp.
Nice try, but Fender did not make a deluxe reverb in 61. the first Deluxe reverb was introduced in ’63.
No doubt on the tremlo. And breakup. I’ve been using one since buying one new in 63. Best amp Fender ever made as far as I’m concerned. Play a 63 Jaguar thru it regularly. Perfect match.
