Up for sale, a 1960's Fender Vibratone rotating speaker cabinet in excellent condition and in good working order. A unique marriage of Leslie and Fender (companies both owned by CBS in the late '60s), the Vibratone is a rebranded Leslie model 16 rotating speaker cabinet, decked out in early Silverface Fender cosmetics and made more roadworthy with tolex and nickel corners. A true Leslie rotating speaker experience, the Vibratone is powered by your amp of choice, plugging into the speaker jack on your amp and also connecting to your amp's speaker harness as well. Working in tandem with your amp, the Vibratone has two speeds (slow/fast), and can also be toggled on and off via the included original two-button Fender footswitch. A swirling, thick sound, the Vibratone has that incredible three-dimensional quality and spacial warmth that only comes with a true Leslie, and its modest size and rugged construction make it a gigable and portable package. This Vibratone has just been serviced by our techs here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, with freshly lubed motors and footswitch/umbilical wiring that has been checked out to ensure trouble-free use.This Vibratone sports the original rotating speaker assembly, and the cabinet sports stock smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth. The stock handles and corners are also present and there's only modest wear and a few cleanly repaired tolex tears.The stock footswitch is in great shape with the original paper label and black paint, and all of the assorted connections are present and work as intended.
