I couldn't do that.I will try again without offend the owner.because he says he is the first owner and right hand side at the front plate he's name Özgün is writen.which he says when he ordered,the owner of the shop kindly wrote his name on it.
Any boady knows this type of front plate? Thanks.

Voltage knob indicates this was destined for exportation.

The serial number indicates it was manufactured in 1969 and the EIA codes stamped on the speakers date them to the 30th week of 1999. The front face panel was not made by Fender and the grille cloth seems to be incorrect for the era.

The original speakers, if reconed to spec, will sound much better than the import Jensen's currently installed.

This is quite normal and accepted to see inside the frame. Nobody is offended by it. It's like opening the hood of a car ....

because he says he is the first owner and right hand side at the front plate he's name Özgün is writen.which he says when he ordered,the owner of the shop kindly wrote his name on it.

If you buy it , don't forget to check the fuse , look if it is the right amp. Many use second hand amp have a wrong value fuse and amp is not protected.
You need 2 amp Slow Blow fuse.

+1

One of many detailed to be inspected and noted.

Posting some pre-purchase pics here might help us keep you out of trouble should something inside the amp be seriously amiss.

And judging from the looks of those speakers, it's been collecting record amounts of dust since 1999.

Indeed.

The amp's been derelict for quite some time.
