Up for sale, a 1969 Fender Vibrolux Reverb in excellent condition, freshly serviced and loaded with the original Oxford 10L5 speaker pair. A transitional example with "drip edge" aluminum trim, this Vibrolux Reverb retains the AA864 circuit of its Black Panel predecessors.
With good reason, the Vibrolux is one of the most desirable Fender models for its ideal size and power, performing well both on stage and in the studio with shimmering Fender cleans and smooth, lightly compressed tube overdrive when pushing the amp towards 10 on the Volume dial. With just under 40 tube watts through a pair of 10" Oxford 10L5 ceramic magnet speakers, the Vibrolux is the perfect platform for getting the most out of a variety of guitars and stompboxes. With a perceived volume that's loud enough to keep up with an aggressive drummer, the Vibrolux offers smooth note attack and tube rectifier sag, not to mention lush tube Reverb and punchy Tremolo.
The original transformers are all intact, manufactured by Fender's primary transformer supplier, Schumacher, with date codes from '68. The preamp features the original brown molded caps and all of the stock CTS pots, with visible date codes from 1968-early '69. Freshly serviced, the amp benefits from new smaller electrolytics in the preamp and a recap of the power supply with high quality F&Ts. A three-prong power cable has also been installed. The pair of Groove Tubes 6L6 power tubes are properly biased, and the preamp tubes are the original matched set of RCAs.
The original Oxford 10" 10L5 speakers sound fantastic, with clean black frames and Fender foil stickers on the ceramic magnets. The stickers on the speaker frames date to the 4th week of '69. The tube chart is fully intact with crisp corners, noting the AA864 circuit.
The original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth with turquoise stripe is intact. The grill is framed by the distinctive "drip edge" aluminum trim, and the faceplate shows only light wear, with all of the original witch hat knobs. The hardware includes the raised Fender logo with tail, handle caps, chassis straps, corners, and sphinx glides (feet).
