Members slushpup96 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 Isn't that cool looking? Also not spam, not mine, etc. I'd try it out but what if it sounded really good? Then I'd have to buy it. And we can't risk that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Texas Noise Factory Posted December 24, 2011 Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 That looks very cool. Wonder if that is effects, or a drum machine built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarman3001 Posted December 24, 2011 Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 Damn, that's right near me. I'm in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slushpup96 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 Damn, that's right near me. I'm in that area. For some reason I just felt like checking the miami craigslist. This was my thought process. Grandparents live there > Old People Live There > Old People = Old Gear > Vintage Guitars I actually have found a lot of cool stuff (that I can't afford).

Members PunkKitty Posted December 24, 2011 Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 That really does look cool. I'm not sure how good early transistor amps sound. But I'm sure I could find some useable sounds in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slushpup96 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 It's just so colorful. Blue sides and purple stripes and rainbow knobs... even the handles on the sides look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slushpup96 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Baldwin-Professional-C1-Amplifier-Guitar-Amp-/290583383109#ht_500wt_1413 Found some more info on it. I believe it's a Baldwin Professional C1 Amplifier. Doing research right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members axegrinder Posted December 24, 2011 Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'd be severely impressed if all the gadgets on that thing work...like those multi colored buttons. They almost look like mechanical levers. But just imagining the salty humidity, doesn't electronic gear from that era (w/ all that exposed componentry) just take a beating?

Members axegrinder Posted December 24, 2011 Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 I like how they added the drawer handle(s) on the end(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slushpup96 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 So it's some weird solidstate strangeness. The colorful knobs are like EQ or something. Weird but interesting read below. From http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2009/Aug/Baldwin_Model_C1_Amplifier.aspx Hey Zach, I was hoping you could shed some light on this Baldwin Professional amplifier I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members steve_man Posted December 24, 2011 Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 Looks like a Baldwin Model C1. Here's some info I found on it... "Model C1 (Custom Amplifier with Supersound). It features 45W power RMS (125W peak), 2x12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted December 24, 2011 Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 The speakers might be worth something. But solid state and that old? I'd pass. They aren't easy to work on if they have repair issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slushpup96 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2011 I couldn't tell but they looked kind of rusty anyway. Plus I already own a cool old (80's / 90's) large solidstate amp. So I don't think I'll be checking this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slushpup96 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 haha A 30 second demo contained in a 1:40 video. *facepalm* Still, the amp didn't sound that bad. However I'm downsizing and too introverted/lazy to go even play the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onelife Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 A friend of mine had one of those paired up with a Fender Rhodes I only had a chance to check it out once, for a very short time, before she gave the pair away. It was loud but a bit flakey because some of the pots were dirty or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
