1972 Fender Vibrosonic Reverb Amp in Sherman Oaks CA for $400

The seller doesn't seem very sophisticated so tread carefully but $400 for a Vibrosonic is a bitchin' deal. That is a stock photo but he says the amp is in Mint condition. Sounds like it has probably sat in a closet for a long time. A Vibro is basically a 100 watt Twin reverb with a 15 inch JBL speaker. Great for Country, Jazz, Rockabilly or pedal steel.

    I checked this amp out and passed on it. The cabinet is badly cracked on the top left corner and buzzes even at low volumes. The pots definitely need cleaning and the reverb is squealing.
