Members thomazzz Posted May 29, 2009 Members Share Posted May 29, 2009 Nabbed a '62 Alamo Challenger this morning before work for $100! It's clean as hell and sounds just amazing. Can't wait to get it home and see what it can do. Pic's to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members potaetoes Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 talk about minimalist... just one tiny electrolytic cap and a little cap can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members potaetoes Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 the amp is single ended. That can cap is 3 section, plate, screen, preamp.The disc caps are coupling and tone control. Everything needed for a small circuit. BTW, those sound better than silverface champs. IMO. i didn't mean it as a bad thing, i think it's super cool - just surprised to see so few things inside, not even a bypass cap on one of the preamp stages or anything.

Members kidgloves Posted May 31, 2009 Members Share Posted May 31, 2009 Ha, I actually had that very amp bookmarked since it was one of the few things listed on Dallas' craiglist page in recent weeks that was worth a damn. Well, this and a 71 Twin for $350. Sweet snag though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarcapo Posted June 1, 2009 Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 That can cap? Where would you find a replacement if it needed to be replaced (which I would assume is likely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Samnite Posted June 1, 2009 Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 That can cap? Where would you find a replacement if it needed to be replaced (which I would assume is likely)I had an Ampeg with a tough-to-replace cap can once. My tech replaced it with...caps.

Members Samnite Posted June 1, 2009 Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 Great score, by the way. I've copped so much good gear on CL. It's a Craigsend. I, however, bought my SF Bassman Ten for $100, at Guitar Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OverDriven Posted June 1, 2009 Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 That is truly awesome. So simple. Talk about an amp you can rely on. The only amp I've seen that was simpler was literally and amp that did not even have a volume knob. It was on or off...full tilt...that's it. Pretty cool, but not exactly practical. Probably extremely expressive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kidgloves Posted June 1, 2009 Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 haha thats crazy... did you buy the twin? Ha, no dude, I actually didn't. It might still be there if you're feeling more adventurous than me. I just didn't feel like driving all the way to freaking Aledo and checking out an amp that I couldn't get pictures for, on a stranger's word that it was in acceptable shape, and having to figure out how to lug the behemoth back in my truly {censored}ty car. Translation: I don't really want a Twin. I could still see myself flipping it for some sick profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you. No way am I driving to Aledo, especially with no pics. The Challenger is incredibly cool sounding and I absolutely love it but I just wish it had a bit more volume. I had a friend who got a transformer mod on his Skylark which really opened it up and increased the wattage by about 10. What would you guys think about looking into something like that on this amp? I really dont want to mess with the amp much since whats most beautiful (and most seem to agree) about it is its simplicity... but maybe if I get another one which I plan on doing the first oppertunity I get.
