Alright, here is what I know so far, mind you its limited. It is a fender solid state super reverb amp, and it works quite well for an old amp. Ive not had anyone take a look at it yet, mainly due to not knowing where to take it. Now for the parts im unclear off, I believe its from the late 60's, but i cant be for sure as i havent checked the serial numbers yet.

If anyone knows about these amps and could provide me abit more info on it, id be forever grateful. This thing has been a headache to find out about, I cant find any on ebay, or for sell anywhere. Id really like to know is there a market for them today and if so, what are they worth? If futher pictures are needed to help ID this old amp email me jbe5962345@gmail.

Thanks for reading folks, I look forward to any and all info you might have

That looks pretty identical to the one in the September issue of Premiere Guitar: http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/I ... everb.aspx

They claim a good one is worth about $400, so you're boot likely to get rich off it.

Yup.

Read all about it in "The Soul of Tone: Celebrating 60 Years of Fender Amps" by Tom Wheeler. Excellent book.

The early solid state Fender amps had a pretty bad reputation. Considering what 60's tube amps go for, $400 for this thing should be an indication of its collectability.
