Can anyone tell me anything about this amp?
I believe it's from the middle to late 1960's.

A stacked twin, one speaker atop the other.
Appears to have three tubes in it according to my friend who owns it.

Schematics, diagrams, history of repair problems..... and comments
on those topics, would be especially appreciated.

This one's got a crackle after it warms up.



I think this much is correct.

Made from middle to late sixties..
discontinued, first fender solid state attempt.
If my friend is correct, it appears to actually be a hybrid, with a tube preamp and a solid state power supply.

I'm particularly interested in any information that will lead me along the trouble shooting path.
But I'm also curious.. I'm a bit of a geezer, 60, and I don't remember these at all.

We had a guy who bought a Solid State Standell amp, back in the day, and we all blathered about the differences, and were at first awe struck by the new technology, and prone to want to be all futuristic and all..
but all solid states got a bad reputation fast, save the Roland JC-pretty much, and it surprises me that this amp could have been around in what was my early -information hungry- musical period.

Todays bunch of musicians....much better off.. places like this for instance.. virtually extending the borders of whatever place you call home.

So hello and thanks and happy pickin.

Yep I figured I'd do over all the pots and look for obvious things elsewhere..
pcb cracks.. loose solder connections.. bad looking or cheap looking caps/etc.

odd little amp, I'm kind of excieted about heariing it.. just for the comparison to todays solid state.

thanks

It may make it easier for us to help you if we had a picture or two to look at.

I'm not sure I'll even get it.
I don't know if, given the sparse information I'm able to come up with, that it wont wind up being beyond me to salvage it, or too expensive to
have someone else repair.
No sense shipping something that heavy three states just to look at.

On the other hand, I could always use the cabinet and build a real tube amp in there.
