FS: Fender Silverface Vibrochamp - price drop and improved!

Update: New Tung Sol power tube - much better!

Free delivery!

Ok I can't hang on to her any longer. 
1979 VC bought from HeartfeltDawn off the old site.

UK model.

VGC.(pic to follow)

Not sure if it's had a cap job - never sounded like it needed one so I left well enough alone.

Original speaker is present, but also have a Tone Tubby hemp ceramic that is very hard to get hold of and virtually unplayed through.

Happy to deliver or collection in Manchester.

£395 With the Tone Tubby and original speaker.  Delivered! 

£350 Without the tone tubby. Delivered.

Will discount whatever the paypal fees are for cash on collection.

Less than I paid for it without the new speaker and tube, worth it for the tremolo alone!

    Certainly never had a cap job when it was with me. Very nice little amp! :)

    Any interest in trades? And is the Tone Tubby currently installed?

    Ideally I'd like straight cash but depends on the trade. Try me. :)

    Tone Tubby is currently installed, it's a big improvement, just not getting used and I really need the cash. 

    I can stick the old speaker back in if needs be, say for someone looking to run it through a speaker cab.

    Dang whippersnapper.

    Tone Tubby was £80 and that was after a best offer on ebay, so I reckon this is a good deal for a local pickup.

    I've factored in the Tubster for around the same price you'd pay for a new Jensen, which is all too commonplace. 
    ;)

    @SimpleSimon @benmurray85

    Apologies, I'm pulled out at the minute. Just took some pics, tried to adjust the balance but it's a camera phone. 
    If you need better pics, just ask.

    There's tiny flecks of surface rust on the chrome bits at the top, very minor nicks etc. 

    But on the whole, the camera ain't lying. Good condition for 35 yrs old.

    Bumples. Fine for home use but gets really loud when cranked, tremolo is throbtastic. Pristine cleans, takes pedals well.

    Still available! 

    I'll now cover delivery, and I've added a brand new Tung Sol 6v6gt power tube courtesy of @Strat84.
    Something sounded off, much better now. 

    If I get through xmas financially unscathed it may be withdrawn again. 
    >:D<

    Oh and if you have an equally small, cheaper tube amp I may be interested in a trade.
