1961 Vintage 15 Watt tube combo amp in Emeryville CA for $299




This looks like it could be a Lectrolab R800 but it could ba one of a variety of similar amps as well. Either way any 1961 era USA made Dual 6V6 amp w four 12AX7 preamp tubes and a 5Y3 rectifier with Tremolo is gonna sound good - and check out those nice fat trannies - solid wood cabinet nd alnico magnet speaker. And check out those nice old RCA 6V GT's....

For sale or trade is a vintage guitar amp with 1 12" speaker.
There isn't any brand or model info that I can find, but there is a piece of paper installed inside that has the date Nov. 3rd 1961 on it, so it's at least 48.
The amp has a cool looking grill cloth and metal guard rails, which makes me think that it was made to take on the road.
She's in great working condition, and I just had a grounded cord professionally installed as well as having the controls, jacks, and tube sockets cleaned.
There are 4 inputs, 2 tone knobs, controls for Vibrato, input for a footswitch, and an output jack to power external speaker(s).
The tubes to the left in the picture are: 2x RCA 6V6GTA, 1x Zenith 12AX7A, 1x Zenith 5Y3GT, and 1x Sylvania 12AX7A
To the left are: 2x Zenith 12AX7A
The amp has a unique sound all her own.
Let me know if you'd like to check it out.
For trade, I'm interested in the following: vintage/unique synths/keys, effects, guitars/bass, or mic pre's.
Thanks for looking.
