The 12” Eminence designed speaker and the larger cab put it somewhere between a Princeton and a Deluxe but with a Supro attitude. This is the earlier 15 watt version of the amp. It has a 5U4 tube rectifier with a pair of 6973 power tubes; I know it has at least one 12ax7 preamp tube and if I remember correctly 12at7 tubes for the reverb driver and recovery. The tremolo is a tube bias type. The reverb is 3 spring and 8” long - decidedly vibey and not Fender-ish. Overall warm and vibey amp that has fantastic touch sensitivity.
Controls are Volume, Treble, Bass, Reverb, Speed and Depth. Weighs 40 pounds. Blue Rhino Tolex is in excellent condition with a couple of minor scuffs on back. Grill cloth has a couple of slightly frayed but not punctured spots. Included with the sale are 2 extra sets of NOS 6973 power tubes and the original knobs which I replaced with chicken head knobs because the originals were very difficult to read in most lighting.
