Up for sale, a 1959 Magnatone Troubadour model 213 in collector-grade condition, loaded with a full vintage tube set from the likes of Amperex and GE. This Troubadour Custom 213 is fresh back from our techs here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with a clean bill of health.
One of the cooler and less common mid-size Magna Electric-era Magnatone amps, the 213 boasts a single 12" alnico Oxford speaker, delivering 18 all-tube watts. Whether you seek round, sparkling cleans or surprisingly thick overdrive, this Magnatone easily supplies a range of dynamic tube-driven textures. Of course, one of the main draws of any Magnatone is the true pitch vibrato, and with a width and warble unequalled in tube amp design, this vibrato circuit is in a word "lush."
The point-to-point circuit boasts the original Schumacher-made transformers, with the power transformer dating to the 48th week of ‘59 and the output transformer dating to the 31st week of the same year. The preamp retains the original blue molded Ajax capacitors, the original CTS pots are all intact, and the original two-prong power cord is also present. Tubes include Amperex and GE-branded valves in the preamp, with a pair of matched GE 6V6 power tubes and an RCA 5Y3 rectifier.
The original Oxford 12K5R-1 alnico magnet speaker has a very clean frame, with a bold date stamp from the 47th week of '59 and Magnatone foil sticker on the magnet. The original schematic/tube layout chart is also intact inside the cabinet, along with the Magnatone warranty card.
The original smooth brown leatherette covering and wheat grillcloth is extremely clean, with only very restrained wear on the corners and enclosure edges. The faceplate is practically pristine, complete with all of the original knobs. The leather handle is a modern replacement.
