Vintage 1978 Orange OR80 Overdrive 2×12 Valve Amplifier Combo

Vintage 1978 Orange OR80 Overdrive 2×12 Valve Amplifier Combo

This is one of the great Orange amplifiers, complete with Celestion T1217 speakers. This was purchased from the wife of the original owner, who had looked after it very well. The serial number 14165 dates this chassis to 1977, and the speakers date to 1978, so it is clearly from 1978. The speakers are both T1217 speakers, but they date to slightly different months to each other, hence one has a 1777 cone, and the other a 003 cone. I am certain these are the original speakers, and not replacements. The condition is very good, though it has a few light scuffs and scrapes here and there, and one of the speakers is missing the plastic cover. The 2x EL34 valves are JJ replacements, and the ECC83 pre-amp valves are newer replacements too. The majority of the components are original, with only a few small ones replaced in the last service.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).

We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.

It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item 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 item in more depth upon receiving.

The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
