Product Description
Vintage 1962 Vox AC30 Fawn Biege 2×12 Valve Combo
Vintage 1962 Vox AC30 Fawn Biege 2×12 Valve Combo
This amplifier has backplate serial number 6023N, fawn tolex, copper panel, black SBU handles (changed from brown leather), ‘Vox Blues’ w/ H1777 cones, no corner protectors and backplate. All these date this amplifier to October/November 1962.
This is no exception to the rarity and build-quality of these favoured early fawn copper tops.
Cosmetic Inspection
You can see the condition of this amplifier in the photographs. It is naturally worn to give it the character you see. The previous owner had had it since new. In the change over from fawn to black tolex in the early 60s, he painted some of the amplifier to ‘fit in’. We have removed as much as possible of this black paint, leaving the fawn underneath.
Originality
In our opinion, this is mostly original. The handles have been changed from the brown leather to the black SBUs. The Vox logo is period but has been tacked in to the front. There have been a few small internal parts that have been changed in the service, but nothing significant. Everything of value still remains, including the transformers, speakers, cones, pedal, etc.

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.
