Before the Restoration

1964 Deluxe Reverb after 40 years of use

The front view of the amp as it was when I bought it.

1964 Deluxe Reverb Backside

Note the Jensen Vibronto aftermmarket speaker. Not a bad speaker I'm told. Also notice the torn up cables.

From back to front underside shot

Notice the fat paper caps and the chocolate drop cap on the right. Those have to go.

Another underside shot of the tag board

More Tag Board

Chassis Top View

Chassis on my working board in back of the amp.

Filter Caps

These are the filter caps which can blow and cause all kinds of damage - they are on a tag board in the "doghouse" - the metal cover is removed. Notice rust and nicotene - battle scars!

Topside Tranny Shot

Heres the power, choke, and output transformer - again notice the rust and nicotene.

Underside Tranny Shot

Notice the white filament wiring - someone else was working on this amp due to the new resistors and this wiring.

The famous Fender ID Label

This one says it was made in May of 1964 - the famous AB763 Circuit. Twins, Showman, and other amps came from this !

So there it is,  a battle weary old soldier who's seen many smoke filled bar room days and nights throughout the years.  All of this adds to what we call "mojo".  Antiquity.  Unfortunately,  it isn't good for the longevity of the amp so much of this will be cleaned off and suspect parts replaced and tuned.  It is my goal as an amp restorer to make this Fender into a viable working piece of tone generating electronics, that not only sounds great, but looks great  and will outlast my lifetime on this earth - with proper care of course.
