I've always thought the Tilt Back Legs were a cool Fender Amp feature - anybody know what year they started using them and what models they first showed up on? I wonder who thought of that one?

Here's a link to a 1960 model Twin-Amp with tilt-back legs. "JI" (Sept 1960) date stamp on tube chart.

There is a Pat Pending number on the legs, but I was not successful navigating through the Patent pages system to find them to see when they were patented. All references I could find point to 1960 as for use. Not sure how long a patents can take to be approved. If anyone wants to take up the search through the patent office filing and has plenty of time on their hands to do it, feel free.

FWIW

According to a Twin Amp in the book Soul Of Tone: Celebrating 60 years of Fender amps, early 1960.
