I bought a Fender Studio 85 guitar amp. It is in severe need of TLC, and I need some background info on it - anything is more than I have now. What is the power rating, and can I get any sort of owner's manual and/or parts for it? It makes a noise, but I think the pots may be dirty/corroded. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Yes the amp was manufactured in 1988 only, rated at 65 watts. According to my fender amp book the Studio 85 was renamed 85 the following year and produced between 1988 to 1992. The Studio 85 and 85 have 9 knobs (v,t,m,b,r,gain,limiter,p,v). A Deluxe 85 was also made between 1988-1993 these have 11 knobs. I was talking to a tech guy at Fender when I needed a new speaker for my Studio 85 and was told the amp was rated at 100 watts. A lot of people seem think these are the best sounding electronic type amps. It all depends on the type of music you are playing.
Fender still has the Owners and wiring manuals avaliable for $10 to $15 each. I bought my Studio 85 new in 1988 the owners manual is just" Eighty-Five" part number is/was 028519
Good Luck
Dave
