Really cool mid 1960's Ampeg SB12 Portaflex 1x12, 25 watt combo tube ampAmps don't get much simpler than this!All USA point to point wired tube amp - with 25 watts of killer toneControls:Vol / Treble / BassInputs:Instrument / BassWhile technically a "bass" amp - it's really more intended for guitar use - hence the 12 speakerThe sound is very "Fender-esque" - clean with nice breakup when pushedI'd say this is 90% original, even has the 2 prong cord, and internals appear to be stock (from my POV - but I am not an expert)These have really good bass response due to the simple side port in the baffleI got this in trade recently and it functions while hooked up to another speaker - so I swapped out the stock original Jensen and installed a decent Fender 12" from a Blues Deville - it sounds great and gets the job done.It also appears that a transformer is not original (the small one) - although the amps functions great anyway.Grill and tolex look good - tolex has some nicks and a tear as expected from a 50 year old ampthe handle was deteriorated so bad only the metal band was left (included) - so I installed a new blue leather oneall in all a great vintage amp***NOTEI will include original Jensen For an extra $15 (just shipping costs), it currently produces no sound
