Hello Everyone
A couple days ago I dragged home a Thunderbird. Literally! Man that thing is heavy.
You may have seen it on the Anchorage Craigslist. Looks a lot better than the one picture.
Anyway, there is a better looking one on the Atlanta Craigslist.
I can't type the address cuz my colon thingy quit working.
The picture of the speakers look exactly the same but mine do not have the info on the bell. Missing metal disc maybe. The description says they are Jensen P12N speakers and was wondering if you all might happen to know for sure.
From the info I got from you guys, my guess is the amp is a second generation and has the PC boards. About 1968 or 69? Everything works great. Tubes appear all original and the amp is pretty quiet.
My speaker numbers are 220645 indicating Jensen made in 1966? and 45th week, Right?
Would 1976 be too late for this amp?
The other numbers if they help are EM1250 and C8481
So are they in fact Jensen P12N Alnico or are they Ceramic.
Any advice on recapping?
I am having my 1979 Fender Deluxe Reverb recapped now and my Tech says they used PCBs capacitors back then.
Thought to just get it done after I get my Fender back and be done with it.
Glad I picked up on it. The amp sounds GREAT!
Thanks a lot for any Info
