Up for sale is an original c.1958/'59 Magnatone 280. The best Magnatone amp ever made! Used by many including Buddy Holley and Neil Young. Magnatone made amps that would be branded by other companies and this one is a Noble. It is the only Noble branded Mag that I have ever seen! The only difference between a Magnatone branded one and this one is the cosmetics. This amp is 100% original and untouched! I am the second owner and the original owner used it to play accordion in church! It has the original cover that has her name and address on it. The tubes are all vintage RCA and GE, the speakers are original and the amp is truly untouched! The tremolo is amazing! It works but will need service. It has the original ungrounded plug and it has shocked me when playing. I would not use it at all before having a tech go over it. All of the caps/resistors etc... are original and I'm sure plenty of them are out of spec but I will leave it up to the new owner as to how far you want to take a restoration. At the very least, a grounded plug needs to be added. I'm really sorry to have to let this amp go. If I had the funds, I would have it fully gone through by a tech. These are amazing amps and this one is pretty much a time capsule! I am always happy to accept returns if an item is not as described. I ask that you please study the photos and contact me with any questions. I have been selling on ebay for over 17 years with 100% positive feedback so bid with confidence.
