Fender Super Twin Amplifier 1976 - Original
Negotiable
Ex Alan Lancaster Status Quo.
This is an original 1976 model Fender Super Twin guitar amplifier.
It was made in California USA with a production line completion date of early 1976.
It is original in all respects, has no damage & operates perfectly. Both the serial number label & the valve identification label are undisturbed.
Included is an operation manual & the original "Vietnam" khaki padded cover.
A powerhouse, 2 channel stage amp that produces a genuine 180 watts RMS (consumption is 510 watts).
It is loud & clear. The quality of build is traditional 70s Fender. Componentry is heavy & high quality. Total weight is 95lb & thankfully the heavy duty factory castors remain in perfect operational order.
The Super Twin is renowned for being LOUD & bulletproof. Being heard over the rest of the band is no concern - it's prototype was designed to overcome amplifier inadequacies at Woodstock.
It takes time & patience to tune the knobs to obtain the optimum sound however the effort is worthwhile. It is unsuitable for the inexperienced.
The Serial No. is B18461. The Super Twin was only produced during 1975 & 1976.
The blue label square magnet Eminence speakers are original & untouched.
I purchased this amp in 1992 & at the time it was absolutely original & had never been serviced or modified except for replacement of the power cord. Though it operated without flaw, I sent it to Ron Langhans (the then chief engineer 2WS & valve enthusiast) for an assessment & service. He cleaned the chassis, replaced the capacitors & balanced the tubes as a matter of course - no other intervention was necessary or recommended.
It was then placed into storage & has been there until recently (over 30 years). I turned it on & it worked perfectly.
Please Note - this is a genuine & original Fender Super Twin amplifier Circa 1976. It was purchased from the original owner, Alan Lancaster, an icon of the 60s & 70s, who reported that "it had never given me any trouble". It has not been damaged, repaired, modified or interfered with except for the mandatory replacement of serviceable electronic componentry as previously stated. It is not a reproduction, a reissue or a fake built up out of foreign parts. It does not have holes drilled in it, it does not have an exhaust fan cut into it, there are no foreign handles attached to it, there are no panels missing from the back of it & it does not have head mounts fitted to the top of it. I bought it because it was unmolested & it remains so today.
Further photos are available by request.
Other memorabilia & instruments pertaining to Alan's days with Status Quo, The Party Boys & The Bombers will be made available for expression of interest.
Collection is available at Mount Victoria NSW - near to Katoomba. Delivery is offered to Sydney & surrounding areas.
