Fender 1961 Deluxe 6G3-A Brown Tolex Pre CBS Amp, All Original, Near Mint

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Fender 1961 Deluxe 6G3-A in brown is in near mint condition.  We're on a run when it comes to clean, awesome Fender amps, and this one just adds to the magic.  The amp is 100% original and it works!  I ran it up slowly on my variac and was amazed that it operated the way it did.  I don't recommend using the amp regularly this way, however.  I will perform a cap job and swap the power cable for the new owner if they wish - a value of $200 to $300 if you were to bring it to a tech yourself.  As it sits, all the pots, jacks, and tube sockets were cleaned while on my bench.

This all-original pre-CBS Deluxe is a 20-watt combo with onboard tremolo, original brown tolex, a wheat grille, and an original leather handle. It has a single 12" Jensen speaker (manufacturer code 220, date code 024). Tubes are an Amperex 5AR4 rectifier, two Sylvania 6V6 power tubes, and three RCA 12AX7 preamp tubes.  If the tubes aren't all original to the amp I'd be surprised.  They all test perfectly and add a lot of value to this beautiful piece. 

The tolex, cabinet, grille, baffle, chassis, and speaker all rate near mint, and everything is original and untouched inside, including the Schumacher power transformer (date code 042) and output transformer (121), the potentiometers, filter caps, and power cable. It comes with the original pedal, which is near mint.
