Hi everyone,
I'm REALLY confused!The more research I do about my amp,the more I DON'T find out anything about it.Here goes,it's just a Showman,no Dual,Silverface,the serial # is A14135,no stamps anywhere even on tube chart,Sam Hutton Yellow lumber pencil initials on bottom of head cabinet,tube chart says Power Supply 117 volts,50/60cycles AC.Power Consumption 260 Watts,Fender Musical Instruments Santa Anna,California with #108688 bottom right corner of chart,it has 4-7025 tubes,1-12AX7,1-12AT7,& 4-6L6GC tubes,transformer #'s are 606827,606821,606744,& 606825,Speaker cabinet has 15" JBL & Tilt Back Legs with serial #L14289.Oh...and above serial # on head chassis is R2 (looks like) in black marker.Everytime I think I find out something about it I read something else that does'nt fit.Like the D on TFL-5000D is for domestic amp but then tube chart says 117 volts and I thought domestic was 110 volts.I think I get too much info from to many people and it's really confusing!If anyone has any info about when amp was made,what circut I might have,or any other facts I would GREATLY appriciate it.Thanks Guys!
Dave

Do the cosmetics on both amp and cabinet match? Silver/black/pale blue grill cloth with drip-edge surround?

Likely they are not a matched set.

Pics would be a big help, also the Fender P/N stamped on the output tranny.

Hello, I have a Dualshowman Reverb TFL 5000d

The serial number is 0472 without a letter in front. I need help dating the amp. Thanks Avery

Hi avemeyer,

Look at the codes stamped onto the trannies. For example, 606827 in a silverface amp. The 606 is the manufacturer (Schumacher in this case), then the next digits indicate year and week made (the 8 is 1968, and the 27 is the 27th week). Each tranny can have a different code, sometimes many weeks or even a year different.
