Members ksl Posted November 25, 2019 Members Share Posted November 25, 2019 This might be the wrong group to post this in, but I wanted to get the word out to as many of us as possible; In under 5 minutes, YouTube can be a wonderful place!! Check this out, and as the author claims, "for about $4", was right on the money~~ And just in time to be united with my 1953/4 Gibson GA40 w/tremolo amp that was just restored...pics to follow soon~~ Simply tickled... it looks like a bug & it cost all of $6!! LET THERE BE VIBRATO, OR NOT ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ksl Posted November 29, 2019 Author Members Share Posted November 29, 2019 I edited the post to remove any amp threatening of life saving inferences, so, sorry to sound overly dramatic! I scored the GA40 a few weeks ago for just less than $800 & another $180 for a total health checkup...original trannies, replaced some aged & failing caps & such, & a Hammond organ P12Q for $34...pics below. Sounds better than any GA20 or GA20T I've owned. I could probably sell it for a hefty payday, but that's no fun at all as this thing ROCKS, & thanks to a dremel tool, a sharp razor blade, a .50 doorstop & a $4 parlour style on/off switch, I have beautiful 3 speed w/a tremolo switch......

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I love the "LP" grille on those! Very nice score - congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted December 4, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2019 if you look closely, you can still read the 'Les Paul' sig to the right of the grille. Those amps have a very nice sound, mucho midrange because of the 7591 power tube and the 6eu7 preamp tubes...getting hard to find NOS of those...stock up while you can!
