Vintage 1972 Hiwatt Custom 100 DR103 Amplifier Head 1970s
Vintage 1972 Hiwatt Custom 100 DR103 Amplifier Head 1970s
Wow – what a beauty! This is one of the earlier Hiwatt Custom 100 out there, dating to 1972, and comes direct from the legendary collection of Matt Snowball Rentals. This was most definitely used by many well-known artists along the way. It comes with a custom built MSM flight case for shipping. The original Partridge output transformer work a treat, alongside a replacement power/mains transformer (hence the price), which means the voltage has been hardwired for UK voltage (240v). Cosmetically in good, used condition as you can see. The valves are a mixture of original and replacements, after many years of hire, and the current setup sounds awesome. You will not be disappointed. Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs 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.
