1960 Fender Pro Brown
Description
1960 Fender Pro amp. (5G5 circuit)
If you’re looking at a 1960 Fender Pro Amp, you’re in serious vintage territory—this is one of the transitional “brownface” era amps that sits between the earlier tweed sound and the later blackface tone.
Features a single 15″ JBL D130 speaker, brown Tolex covering, and Fender’s lush harmonic vibrato (often dubbed tremolo). Highly regarded for its rich, woody clean tone that transitions into sweet overdrive.
JG on tube chart (July 1960)
Here's the specifics on this one;
Top backplate replaced. Newer JJ power and Preamp tubes. (two original preamps come with it) New grounded AC cord.
Transformers;
-Original Triad Power transformer.
-Original choke dates 21st week of '60.
-Long ago replaced OT Hammond made by Schumacher.
Service;
Filter caps recapped. One power tube socket replaced. Cathode bypass caps replaced. Tremolo caps replaced. Couple resistors. Screen grid Resistors. OT leads spliced. Fuse holder replaced.
Otherwise, all there. Nice clean example of one of these!
