I'm selling this beautiful Fender Bandmaster amp on consignment for a nice family in Klamath Falls, Oregon. It was owned by a steeler there and was very well cared for, until the owner passed away in 1985. It's been in storage ever since and the family has finally decided to let it go to a new home.
I have had it checked out by a local amp Tech here in Portland, who determined that it needed new caps among a few other minor things, so it was just serviced and now functions flawlessly. I also purchased a new foot switch for the vibrato that looks "vintage". Everything now works as it should and the amp sounds fantastic!
These early vintage Fender amps are highly collectable and this one is in exceptionable condition for its age. The speaker cabinet is loaded with an original 12" speaker that's mounted on to what is I believe is referred to as a "Tone Ring" or adapter. I'm guessing it may have been a Bassman cabinet designed for a 15" speaker but perhaps Leo wanted to use it as a Bandmaster, but who knows? Apparently the presence of this adapter makes this even more rare and desirable, from what I've gathered.
New capacitors:
Covers included:
Price is $2800.00 plus ground shipping. I can accept PayPal (plus 3%) cashier's check or personal check (if you're willing to wait until it clears before I ship).

Very cool amp!!!
I built 2 tone ring cabs one 12" and one 15" .
Together with the Dumble clone they sound killer.

Speaker setup is 100 percent stock. Bandmasters don't bring the money other white-covered Fenders do. Good luck with the price and I mean no disrespect.
