Vintage 1960s Carlsbro CS40 60 Valve Guitar Amplifier Head
Vintage 1960s Carlsbro CS40 60 Valve Guitar Amplifier Head
This is one of the great ‘undervalued’ Carlsbro amplifiers, made in the mid-1960s, one that include those incredible lay-down transformers, very similar to the Marshall amplifiers of the day. The 2x EL34 valves are period but non-original, the GZ34 is a replacement, as are the 3x ECC83s. Cosmetically in good condition, but the majority of the box has been re-covered. It’s a players example cosmetically. This amplifier has recently returned from a leading UK amplifier tech where it was checked over and serviced to a high standard. Please check out the in-depth pictures below as these form part of our description.

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.
