Description
No Lowballers. No Trades. Absolutely no shops. This is a three-owner, Collector-Grade 1960 Brown Super in very excellent condition and sounds fantastic. Very clean and original. This is the cleanest Super I've ever seen, IMHO - a friend calls it in “Open Box” condition. • Tolex is extremely clean and undamaged; the light-brown-toward-pink color. • The oxblood grille cloth is original and super clean. • Brown dog bone handle is original and fully intact. • Both Jensen P10R speakers are fully original, with code 220021 (21st week of 1960). • The left sticker got snagged by tape around the power cord when it was shipped to the second owner. • Transformers are all original; proper models and date codes for 1960. • Output Transformer is a Triad, code 45216, which is right for early Super (a holdover from the tweed era), which also lines up with the lighter pinkish tolex. • Chassis code is 02384, denoting 1960. • Circuit is 6G4, but the bias supply and tube complement are in the 6G4A configuration. From the second owner “I suspect this was a test chassis before finally being packaged up later in 1960. The harmonic tremolo has been modified (from the factory as far as I can tell) to be deeper and richer than stock.” • The tube chart was updated at the factory to call out that the power tubes are 5881 and the phase inverter is a 12AT7. Code is JK for 1960, November. • 6 preamp shields are included. These are older replacements, as the amp didn't come to second owner with shields. • Includes the original foot switch which works great. • In the cabinet, the paper bag that the foot switch shipped in from the factory is still attached. • Includes the original Victoria brand amp cover. It's a little dry and slightly worn with age, but it still works great. Electronics have been serviced for long-term reliability: • New 3-prong power cord has been installed, with an upgraded cable gland and ground wired to code (and not to the transformer). • Death cap removed. • All electrolytics were replaced with excellent quality replacements. • Only one Astron was leaky; replaced with a Jupiter. • All out-of-spec parts and original power cable are included in a bag. • Preamp tubes are all original Bugle Boys and RCA 7025, except one Bugle Boy which is a period-correct replacement. • Power tubes are a pair of period-correct NOS 5881 (Tung-Sols made by RCA) power tubes installed and biased at 58% dissipation at 120V. • The rectifier has been replaced with a NOS Mullard GZ34. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!
