Description
A great collectors piece. This is an all original Excellent to Mint Condition Fender Champ Amp , Model 5F1 (GK) Serial # C-05807 assembled in November 1957, signed by the Fender assembler (Lupe) inside the metal hosing. This is one of the cleanest Fender Champ Amp I’ve ever seen, and is a true closet queen that has been stored for years unplayed and unused. The Tweed covering material Is in Excellent condition with no rips or tears, water damage, drying out, or cigarette burn marks, and the original handle is also in Excellent condition. Even the metal feet on the bottom look shiny and show hardly any use. The Fender Logo Plate on the front is in perfect condition, as the chrome control panel which has no pitting or rust. And the embossed stamped markings on the chrome control panel all have their original inset paint. Everything on the amp is original. The speaker, the original early two prong power cord with no ground, all the electronics including the lightbulb and the fuse. The original power cord’s outer vinyl covering has some minor damage and cracking from storage but functions as normal. The speaker housing frame, speaker magnet frame, the steel circuit housing, all have the correct ink date stamps. All of the caps are correctly ink dated, and all of circuitry is original, as probably all of the tubes. The volume pots are stamped ( 1 MEG LIN 304 725 ) July of 1957. The rare original vintage Fender Champ Amplifier Cover that it originally sold with, made by Victory Luggage is also included with the amp. That also is in Very Good to Excellent original vintage condition, with some very light staining. This Vintage Original amplifier operates and sounds like a classic Fender Champ Amp should. Perfect for recording, practice, and harmonica playing. Zoom in and examine all the photos carefully, and message or email with questions or offers .
