Gibson-Gibsonette Amplifier 1952-53

Description

You are bidding on a Vintage Gibson Gibsonette 1952/53 Guitar Amplifier! Gibson made only about 1700 of this model in 2 years 1952/53. The style shown (see pic) was made in 1952-53. It has a 10" Jensen field coil speaker . The controls were located at the bottom rear of the cabinet directly on the chassis and consist of: 2 input jacks, on/off switch and a volume control. The earliest version of the Gibsonette (1952-53) was not a single-ended amp. While it looks as though the two 6V6s are parallel, they are actually being run push-pull in what is called a "self-split" or "self-balancing" configuration. Basically, the signal is fed from one tube to the other, without the use of a phase splitter (which is why it appears to be single-ended). This amp which has been recently serviced  has a soft warm tone and is cosmetically in nice condition for it's age with only typical wear. This is a very rare opportunity to get this awesome vintage amp at a great price!!  This has a new handle and replacement parts that have all been saved in a bag.  also a new grounded cord.  Code Date on speaker is 1952.
