The Ampeg Jet J12 I bought from charliea here arrived in PA today. I made it feel right at home:
It sounds really good and it's nice and clean. Even has what appear to be original (1968) Ampeg-branded Sylvania 7591A's and also a couple Telefunken 12AX7's:
I'm curious if the speaker is ceramic or alnico but I didn't have the heart to take a screwdriver to it already to remove the magnet cover. Even though the amp is a '68, the speaker appears to have a 1966 date code - must be like all those millions of 1966 CTS pots Fender used for years
Thanks to charliea for a well-packed, quickly shipped amp!
