Up for sale here is a 1968 Deluxe Reverb that I hate to part with. I bought this amp this past spring and have just now pulled it together for what you are seeing now. This was a barn find amp that had been stored outside in a barn for years uncovered. It was covered with dust and missing many parts when I found it. It was bought from a musically inclined family that full well know the model and value of this particular amp,1968 drip rail. I did not get a GOOD deal because of the condition and the family was reluctant to even sell it. I wanted to save this amp from deteriorating any farther and hear it play its Fender vibe. I paid the price and brought it home and went to work. Missing were the tubes,speaker, reverb tank and Fender logo and power cord. A good cleaning was first in hand. A new power cord with ground was next followed by a mix of used tubes from my inventory. I cleaned the pots when I had the chassis out. A new Jensen P12R and Accrutronics USA reverb tank then followed. Fired it up and the Fender vibe sounds great. Caps are fairly quite. There is some unwanted distortion at higher volume indicating that it needs some attention from the qualified amp tech. Some new tubes will go a long way and I will let the new owner make his or her choice on that. Sounds very nice at low volume.The cabinet has a nice vintage look due to the elements of nature. Also included are the original back panels not seen in photo's. Selling this amp AS IS needing some attention with 100.00 shipping to lower 48            I forgot to mention that i have the original foot switch for this amp that is included.
