Speaker  code = 220116 = 1961  Jensen P12 N , alnico Magnet, Jensen's most valuable and sought after 12" speaker, in great shape. Pro RE-Tweed by Larry Rodgers in FL. 2011 Larry and Sam Hutton were the best Re- Tweed guys in USA, Larry signed inside of amp. REPO Parts = Fender Deluxe badge. Leather handle, speaker plug , speaker wire. Jensen speaker sticker ,and a few cabinet screws of  same size as original.  Amp sounds great ,and works as it should. NEW filter caps installed years ago. Ready to gig with. New/nice Fender  deluxe Re-issue cover comes with amp. I've logged hundred of hours on this amp w/o any issues. Old pre amp and Rectifier tubes, new matched 6v6 Tung-sol power tubes. I play out with Fender black face amps now, so not using this amp as much. I'll do free shipping to lower 48 states , FED - EX ground. USA only, all others ask. I'll  be happy to answer questions, as I've owned over 15  narrow panel tweed Fender amps from 1956 - 1959. The re -tweed did not effect the amps sound at all, when I got  this amp  from a long time buddy, who got it in the 1970's , the tweed was gone. So the late Larry Rodgers was the only choice for a correct recover. Sorry , no returns or exchanges.
