Vintage 1976 Hiwatt Custom 100 DR103 Valve Amplifier Head
This is a beauty – an original 1976 Hiwatt DR103, recently purchased right from the heart of London. It’s one of the clearest I’ve seen signed by Harry Joyce, and in truly wonderful condition. The two Partridge transformers are in great condition, alongside a mixture of Mullard and Electro Harmonix EL34, and a quad of original Mullard pre-amp valves. Someone has fitted an IEC socket to the back panel in the past, with the original hole from the power cable now empty. My tech had to replace one of the capacitors, and give it a good clean up. It’s a wonderful clean example! You’ll not be disappointed. Please see the pictures below, as these form part of my 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.
