Description 1960s Sound City L100 100w Mark 3 Custom Built Head.Sound City are one of those great British valve amplifier names that are increasing in stature and value as the years go by! This particular model is one of the early 'Hendrix' and 'The Who' era amplifiers, with the 100w, as oppose to the 50/120w versions.Although this has a few mods and changes, it still retains the originality that makes these so desirable in todays market.Product Details Serial Number: NAWatts: 100 watts Impedance: 4, 8 or 16 ohms Power Valves: 4x EL34 Pre-Amp Valves: 4x ECC83 Power Valve Brands: 3x Mullard & 1x Electro HarmonixPre-Amp Valve Brands: 2x Mullard 1x Brimar & 1x TungstramTransformers: Original PartridgeTransformer Codes: TG8950 (only visible)Voltage Selector: 110v, 220v, 240v Selector Service History We pride ourselves on the inspection, authentication, and service of each amplifier, making this ready to plug in and play. It may require extra work to get it up to a high standard, but plays great as it is.Please note that it is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all amplifiers as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the amplifier is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the amplifier in more depth upon receiving. The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised. Cosmetic Inspection This has obviously been well loved in the past. The recovered vinyl has marks, scrapes and scratches all over it, and the changed red piping is parting ways with the vinyl. The front and back panels have marks, as pictured, and some of the knobs have chips out of them. The name 'BADS' is stencilled on to the side of the amplifier, finishing off that perfect 'gigged' look. Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.Originality In our opinion, the important parts of this amplifier are original, with a few internal components changed. The amplifier has obviously been recovered and repiped, along with a few of the knobs on the front changed over the years. There has been an added 'volume' control that acts as a sort of pre-amp gain, prior to the master volume days.This could be reversed but we decided to leave it as it is. Summary Overall, this is a very rare and collectable amplifier. Not only is this sure to increase in value year on year, but also it can be an enjoyed investment. You’re more than welcome to come along and have a play on this, coupled with one of our vintage guitars! Where else but at The Music Locker! If you click and buy through eBay, please pay (or make contact) with us within 24 hours, in order to let us know your payment plan. We’re happy to accommodate in whatever way we can, as long as we know. We pride ourselves on our affordable, high quality and safe worldwide shipping. Please see the exact quote for your country. This price includes boxed and secure packaging, insurance for the sale price and full tracking via UPS. Personal inland delivery is also a possibility so please contact us for more information. A deal can be done on any item collected as we strive to keep the risk of breakages as low as possible for such delicate beauties. Please Note - If you're not located within Europe, you may be eligible to pay import duty or tax, of which The Music Locker cannot be held responsible. Please also be aware that each amplifier is serviced to UK regulations and our customers overseas may need to make slight alterations to meet electric requirements. Please make sure you are aware of this before buying.
