Description
UPC: Does not apply  


 From a local farm estate comes this classic GIBSON AMP. Its in good cosmetic condition for the age. Had a sound tech relative test it and he tells me it works, after replacing a blown fuse. However, there is a background low hum, he suspects is being caused by the transformer, so that may need replacing/servicing also. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA.The amp looks to be all original except the following: Top handle replaced with wood, 2 non original transistors under the control panel, 1 non original screw in the back panel. There may be other non original parts not visible. Some more info pulled off the interweb. :
