Amp Auction: Vintage Fender Deluxe Reverb Amplifier, 1970s

Amp Auction Description: Early 1970s (1972 - 1975) vintage Fender Deluxe Reverb made at Fender Musical Instruments Fullerton CA. No tears in tolex cover, no rips on rest of cab either (except small wear around bottom corners). The carrying handle is still intact with no rips/tears or issues. Now for some additional details of this vintage amplifier - this amp has had the Blackface mod put in prior to my purchase (I purchased this amp about 8 years ago). Everything works just fine. My Les Paul screams through it, and my Strats sound as sweet as one would expect them to sound. The two prong power cord has been replaced with a 3-prong (I assume it came with a 2-prong cord), but and as far as I can tell the output transformer is original. I replaced the original? speaker with the Celestion Vintage 30 G12 speaker (and knowing me, probably still have the original around). It has the original footswitch for switching in the Tremelo (actually Vibrato) and Reverb (which is a plus as these tend to go missing after so many years). I've replaced the reverb tank (and still have the original if requested). The tubes have been replaced and to be honest they haven't seen much playing time on them due mainly to the fact that I've focused on my acoustic playing over the past few years (kinda what happens when you get of age and not that marketable to up and coming bands...:-). This is a nice albeit used (but not abused) vintage Fender amp that's just perfect for home or small club use (though with the external speaker connection, it's sound can be as big as needed). It's been kept in a smoke free home for the last 8 years (that I can say with certainty), and as mentioned has seen very little use over the years I've owned it. This amp is in better condition than when I bought it because of the upgrades I've put in, and should provide many years of enjoyment to the next owner. Thanks for looking and please ask any questions prior to purchase.On Jan-09-12 at 17:14:37 PST, seller added the following information:Update Jan 9th - I want to point out that I am not an amp tech but the mod that had previously been installed prior to my purchase of this amp has been described to me as being the Blackface mod. I have no reason to doubt this, but not being a professional amp technician I can only relay the information provided me.Also, the amp does have the power boost which was a question asked.Someone also mentioned that the year may be closer to 1977/78 as the person indicated based on the logo and the factory installed power boost that was the year the power boost was initially installed. I hope to verify the year based on the mfg part number if possible.
