Service History

We pride ourselves on the inspection, authentication, and service of each amplifier to UK standards and regulations.

Cosmetic Inspection

This is in brilliant condition. An absolute beauty! We struggle to find anything worth mentioning. However, please bear in mind this is over 40 years old so will not be in the exact condition it left the factory.

Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.

Originality

In our opinion, the important parts of this amplifier are original, with a few internal components changed.

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.
