The chassis and electronics are mostly original. No extra holes. Filter and bias caps were recently changed to Spragues of the proper values - 16/475's for the filter caps and a 100/100 for the bias cap.A couple of the pots have been replaced.There is a mix of newer and vintage tubes.A 3 prong grounded ac cord has been installed. The original chassis hole was NOT enlarged.The interior of the chassis is ink stamped 1969. The output transformer and choke are dated to 1969. The power transformer is the correct vintage model from 1971. The reverb transformer is a new replacement.The reverb pan appears to be the original Gibbs. The reverb cables and protective bag are new.No footswitch is included, but a plug-in shorting jack is included so you can use the vibrato without a footswitch.The handle and all control knobs are newer repros.The cabinet is a vintage Fender from the early to mid-70's. It was originally the fixed baffle type, but the baffle was removed when we got it. We fitted a Mojo floating baffle and grill gloth. This allows you to remove the baffle with 4 screws like the original 60's amps.The Fender logo is the original from the 1960's.The two back panels are missing, but you can easily get repros. I personally like the amp without them. The amp is lighter in weight, and you have easier access to tubes and better ventilation/heat dissipation.The speaker is a Celestion UK G12L-35, which sounds remarkable in this amp. Plenty of power handling while maintaining the vintage character.I have done everything possible to detail all of the changes. What I can't describe adequately is how good the amp sounds. It sounds just like you would hope a good vintage Deluxe Reverb would sound. Big and clean and warm at lower volumes. Nice grind and overdrive as you raise the volume. Small and light enough for easy transport. Pretty much the perfect amp for a lot of musical styles.
