This 60's Rickenbacker amp seems to have a lot in common with an Ampeg Jet - it's a dual 6V6 with 2 preamp tubes and a tube rectifier. That layout and the 12 inch Jensen make for a nice little package. The seller is comparing it to a Vibro Champ but this amp should put out a lot more volume and punch than a little 6 watt Champ. Nice solid looking cabinet and simple hand wired circuit should make this a winner.

Not much info available on rick amps. I think that its 1964 E-12, but I've never seen one in black. Has tremolo, Jensen C12Q speaker. 2 6V6 power tubes, 2 preamp tubes.
Very cool amp. Sounds cool, great tremolo. Breaks up nice too. Great alternative to a '64 Vibro Champ.
