Well, I hate to do this, but I think I may have to let go of this thing. Its a Blackface 1966 Super Reverb that I found under a drum riser and have been bringing back to life for the last few months. It works perfectly and sounds amazing. The speakers are an X pattern of Weber Alnico's and Weber Ceramics. All the preamp tubes are original, the power tubes are TAD's. Everything on the amp works perfectly including the reverb and vibrato. Here is the story behind the amp: It had been converted to be a Twin Reverb soon after it was purchased in the 60's. Apparently doing that was all the rage back then because people wanted the most clean headroom they could get. So the OT was swapped for a Twin and the speakers were swapped out for 2 12's and 2 extra power tube sockets were added. The rectifier tube was taken out in exchange for a silicon diode rectifier as per Twin Reverb specs. When I found the amp it was still in this configuration and apparently had been since the early 70's. It was never played much since then and mostly sat around. I took it to a local repair shop that has been around since the 60's. It turned out that they had performed the Super to Twin trasnformation and the only thing keeping the amp from being a Super again was the lack of a tube rectifier, the speakers, and the OT. Luckily, the repair guy had an extra OT laying around that just happened to be from a 1966 SR, could have even been the same amp. So he swapped the OT for me, added the tube recitifer back in and went over the amp to make sure it was in good working order. I then got a set of Weber speakers and put them in. The amp sounds phenomenal! I really don't know what to ask for it so make me some offers. I'm open to trades as well for pretty much anything, just no junk. Here are some pics:

I wonder how many of you that constantly say Sheffields suck have ever played on a set that were well broken in?
