Recently picked up this mint Pro Reverb that I purchased several months ago. It is completely original with nothing ever changed. Even has its original Victoria Luggage cover. All dated components are 1967.

I'm happy to add this bad boy to the group...

Built in the 17th week of 1968 and all stock. I do intend to replace its OEM Oxfords with a matching pair of Fender-marked Jensen C12NA's though.

Great score, Mark!

Beautiful amp, in unbelievable condition! I bought one exactly like that, brand new, back in 1968. Best amp I ever owned.

Thanks, Mark.

I have nearly all of them, with the exception of a Super Reverb and a Tremolux. I was actually on the prowl for a SR when I found the Pro Reverb.

You've got a mighty tasty collection too.

I hope to find 3 more blackface amps in mint condition with original Victoria Luggage covers; Twin Reverb, Deluxe Reverb and Vibroverb.
After that, I'll be done.
It's never too late for a happy childhood :mrgreen:

The '64 Vibroverb might swing in either direction regarding an OEM Victoria Luggage cover -- tan canvas duck OR black vinyl. I've seen both types (and both of those are exceedingly rare).

Thnx for that info. I know it's a longshot but, I'm patient. Hopefully, one day, the right one comes along.

Drip edge DR maybe nice to try and find. Their circuits and the PR are fairly easy to revert back to blackface standards.
