I have a Fender Bassman AB165 Blackface with 2X12 cabinet with 2 – JBL D120F speakers. Tube chart is intact with ink stamped QC for '67 March production. All of the transformers have ’66 date codes. All CTS pots have ’66 &‘67 date codes. This amp was abandoned in 1975 at the DTA Talent Agency in Manhattan, Ks. It did not work and has not been played until I found a bad solder joint on a ground to chassis on August 16, 2014.
5 minutes work and this bad boy awakes from a 39 year nap or longer. It Rock's and It's loud! First guess is everything is original? Tubes, caps... I joined this Forum two days ago to answer that question. Everyone has been very helpful. My 335 has never sounded better. Jerry

Sweet deal!. Amazing what you can do with a little curiosity and a solder iron. :D
