Well look what I found on craigslist.

Ya, I know it's not a Fender. Not sure about much with this one. No I haven't plugged it in. I plan on a lot of careful non-live testing before anything else. It looks as if it lost it's OT at one point, and had a larger one hacked in. I'm not even sure why I bought it, except I now have a "Fender" no one else has!

Is it Japanese? Who else was making knock-offs during the iron curtain era? Maybe Nixon brought this one back from China trying to save a few bucks?

i like it

It was made in the Philippines. The guy I got it from said he bought it from a Viet Nam vet. It had a 5U4GB with broken index pin, two miss-matched 6L6WGBs, and 5 12AX7s(3 japanese, and 2 GE 12AX7WAs). Haven't even tested tubes yet.

Play some of these songs for it, it should perk right up, better than a cap job and a new set of tubes!

That's right it's a Gabby! I was surprised that the tubes are all good. Haven't tested anything inside amp yet. Oh and it came with the 1x12 combo cab, with an orange Realistic speaker. Cab is sad but complete except some tolex. I think I got a pretty good deal, because I would have paid $65 for just the tubes!
If the transformers are good I got a great deal.
