{"product_id":"polytone-1970s-mini-s15b-amp-combo-near-mint","title":"Polytone 1970s Mini S15B Amp Combo, Near Mint","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo sales tax for US customers outside California.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Polytone Mini S15B in black is in near-mint condition. Polytone built a loyal following among jazz guitarists and working musicians through the 1970s and beyond, and the Mini-Brute series became a go-to for players who needed a clean, full-frequency amplifier in a manageable package. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mini S15B is a 100-watt solid-state combo built around a single 15\" driver — in this period, typically a CTS unit, and the speaker here is original and in excellent condition. The lightweight plywood cabinet keeps the overall package manageable despite the speaker size and power rating. The sealed cabinet design delivers extended low-frequency response and a smooth, present midrange — characteristics well-suited to the full, round tone of a hollow or semi-hollow jazz guitar, though equally capable with a wide range of instruments. The chassis is all-metal, in excellent condition, and original. All potentiometers and knobs are original. There is no onboard reverb or tremolo. The covering is original black vinyl, and the grille is original acoustic foam in very good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no repairs, changes, or issues with this amplifier. The cabinet is in excellent condition, the chassis is excellent, and the grille is very good. This is not a guitar instrument, so fret and setup specs do not apply. There is no case or cover included. Casters are included. There is no documentation included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDate: 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 42lbs 11oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDimensions: w 22-1\/2\" x h 19\" x d 11-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWatts: 100 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCase\/Cover?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Material: vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Color: black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Material: lightweight plywood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Repairs\/Changes: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Style: acoustic foam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Material: particle board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Material: metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eKnobs Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHandle Material: rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHandle Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Brand: typically CTS for this time period\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Size: 15\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eReverb Onboard: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTremolo Or Vibrato Onboard: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePedal Included?: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePotentiometers Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInternal Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Cable: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAccessories Included: casters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDocumentation: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSmells?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/pages\/sell-vintage-guitars\"\u003eWe buy, sell, and take trades.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe sure to check out the other cool guitar related stuff on our site!\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/amps\" title=\"Vintage and used guitar amplifiers at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Used Amplifiers\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/vintage-fender-guitars\" title=\"Vintage and used Fender guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eFender Electric Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/gibson-guitars\" title=\"Vintage and used Gibson electric guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eGibson Electric Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/effect-pedals\" title=\"Vintage and used effects pedals at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Used Effects Pedals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy completing your purchase you are agreeing to this shipping policy. Shipments require signature on delivery, no exceptions. Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely.

Depending on the amp, this may include removing tubes, pulling the chassis from the cabinet if heavy transformers present a drop risk, or removing heavy speakers that could crack baffles in transit. Reassembly is required on delivery — we label everything clearly. These measures add to shipping costs but reflect hard-won experience. \u003cb\u003eVintage amplifiers (20 years or older) are sold as-is\u003c\/b\u003e — all amps are tested in our shop upon intake and again before shipping.
