I bought mine used in 2008 or so at Parkway Music in Clifton Park, NY to use for recording. My only worry when I bought it was that it was a bit noisy. The owner switched out the 12AX7 in the #1 spot for a 12AT7 and that fixed it for me. Nice and quiet. As far as Blackface/Brownface; I’ve owned at least 7 Blackface Vibrolux Reverbs since 1968 and I am super happy with my CVR. I DO use a Fender Princeton Recording amp for recording now. It is the BEST!!
Replace the reverb tank with a three spring 9AB3C1B. Reverb will be lush and controllable.
I’ve got one, I like it very much. I think people think it’s supposed to be a blackface sound, but it’s more brownface. The knobs.give it away.
