In 1968 the Fender amplifier line switched from a black faceplate to a brushed aluminum faceplate with light blue labels and changed the color of the grillcloth from silver grey to silver with sparkling blue threads embedded within it, ushering in the Silverface era.

The first silverface Twins made used the Blackface AB763 circuit until May 1968 when they began using the Silverface AC568 circuit. The fact that after this change Fender still for some time used printed tubecharts saying AB763 has caused some owners to think they have AB763 circuits when in fact they are AC568s.

The more common speakers found in Fender Twin Reverbs include Jensen C12Ns, Oxford 12T6s, JBL D-120Fs (an upgrade at the factory), Utahs and, in later years, CTS and Eminence models.

That said, many factors still would determine what your amp is actually worth. I'd say a rough estimate would be around $1200, but this is solely based on your description. Good luck!

Miami Mike,

Thanks for info. I could never part with this amp. It was my Grandpa's and I inherited the amp in 1978.

Plus the sound with my strat is unreal.

Peace

Not sure of the exact value, but a good place to start would be finished/completed auctions on Ebay to get a good idea.

I highly recommend you getting this amp,I'm sure it will keep truckin' like a champ as far as durability goes.

It's okay that it's not in great shape too. This way you won't be affraid to play it ya know? Hehe...

Enjoy, let us know how it is.
