IIRC the Vibrosonic had an offset 15 inch speaker. Pics of the backside would be cool...hint, hint.

135 watts, IIRC. Twice the power of the Vibrasonic (a vs o)


And heavy, like a TR.

Very rare indeed.

Thanks for posting your pic.

+1

Even with a non-JBL speaker, that package is pushing around 65 lbs or so. But they're exceptional-sounding amps, especially for steel guitar and electric piano. Clean for days and days, with plenty of volume on tap.
