Its all-tube design delivers the warm breakup and dynamic response players crave. The AB763 circuit black panel PRE-CBS Fender Deluxe (non-reverb) has that classic barreled midrange and sweet top end that defined rock and blues in the mid 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAmplifier Servicing and Reliability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessionally serviced in-house at Five Star Guitars this amp received a new 1 A slow-blow fuse replacement and full inspection. All potentiometers were thoroughly cleaned and now operate smoothly with no crackle or pop. The power transformer was replaced with a 1965 with a thin resin coating inside the amp chassis while the output and choke transformers remain original to 1964.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJensen C12Q Speaker Upgrade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Oxford 12K5 speaker has been replaced with a brand-new Jensen C12Q 12 inch speaker. This retains the desirable ceramic tone with strong breakup of this 35 watt 8 ohm speaker at higher volumes. All speaker mounting hardware has been checked and tightened for secure performance. Mix match of speaker nuts throughout are not original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTube Tremolo Amplifier Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTube sockets cleaned and all brand new JJ Electronics tubes professionally biased for optimal tone and reliability. The tremolo circuit pulses strongly when engaged via the after-market single-button Fender latched vintage style footswitch with Hosa 1\/4 inch to RCA adapter. The tremolo speed control functions smoothly up to around eight before plateauing as expected in a vintage Fender tremolo design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1964 Fender Amp Condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat appear to be the original Mallory electrolytic caps are in surprisingly like new looking condition with no signs of being replace. Cosmetic condition is good with typical age-related dings and light dirt consistent with a vintage amplifier. Era-correct “10” screw knobs are fitted though one was replaced with a modern witch-hat style. Two backplate screws have been swapped for black replacements. The original brown two-prong lamp cord was upgraded to a grounded three-prong IEC cable and the death cap and ground switch removed from circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear: 1964\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfiguration: Combo amplifier for electric guitar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutput Power: 35 watts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: One × 12 inch Jensen C12Q\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpedance: 8 ohm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTubes: JJ Electronics preamp and power tubes plus rectifier (professionally biased)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransformers: Original 1964 output and choke; power transformer replaced 1965\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNormal channel controls: Volume, Treble, Bass and Tremolo channel controls: Volume, Treble, Bass, Speed, Intensity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFootswitch: After-market single-button Fender latched vintage style footswitch with Hosa 1\/4 inch to RCA adapter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower Cable: Grounded three-prong IEC replacement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther age indicators:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo Fender badge supports pre-1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerial Number A 01501 supports 1964.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCap codes support 1964.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInside and BIAS pot codes support 1964 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis amplifier ships fully insured with signature required.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44400519348415,"sku":"171354","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/5804\/files\/Pre_Owned_1964_Fender_Deluxe_AB763_Combo_Amplifier-68758be6c122b_d8a1814a-6dc3-4d6f-86b1-c19ff43cd148.jpg?v=1752874325","url":"https:\/\/fivestarguitars.com\/products\/pre-owned-1964-fender-deluxe-ab763-combo-amplifier","provider":"Five Star Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
