HI FI and Guitar Amplifiers
Front of Amplifier
Rear showing 240 to 110 stepdown transformer to right.
The least damaged Jensen speaker label. Both speakers work well and aside from the labels have no physical damage.
This shot shows whats left of the Gretch logo. It is plastic and I guess prone to catching on to things as the amp is lugged around. Should have bought a custom cover but too late now. The Chet Atkins signature is metal and is in good shape.(see front photo)
I have taken these last four shots to show the layout of the controls and the corrosion damage. Some of the screened text has also come away above corroded spots.
TOP DECK KNOBS LEFT
The area around the built in tuner shows the worst of the corrosion damage. I have now rubbed it all with petroleum jelly.
The original knobs are all there and not damaged.
This amplifier needs someone to love it. I already have three vintage Australian amps (2 Mooody and the Ace Sonata) and a Fender Deluxe Reverb re-issue and so do not get around to playing this one as often as it deserves. I also have a photocopy of the Gretch catalogue featuring this Amplifier and some nice guitars
