Found: 60's Vox AC30 Top Boost

Dodge · September 2016

(Editted for clarity)

Preferably a JMI, but would also consider a VSL/VSEL (i.e. hand wired with the valve rectifier) 60's AC30. Nothing later.

Must have original transformers, choke and speakers
Must have an original circuit (I don't mind if components have been changed during servicing, but the circuit must remain original
Must be a combo with the top boost built in (not the retrofit module). No head and cab.

I don't mind if it's cosmetically challenged. Anyone selling?

Ideally the earlier the better but I'd also consider a later 60's VSL/VSEL version (I.e. hand wired with a GZ34 rectifier). Nothing after that (I.e. Birch Stolec, Dallas Arbiter, Rose Morris etc.)

Anyone selling?

hope you have a strong buget

Thanks @iain.reverb - most of those aren't top boost models, and all of them are completely overpriced.

They're not that expensive, £1100-1200 will buy me what I want.

Thanks for the heads up mate, although that has a non-original transformer and the retrofit top boost module. Daft price too.

I know there's a 60's AC30 in the shop where I work at the moment. I will have to check if it is a top boost model.

Found and purchased.

Howdy, Stranger!
