schundog Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 My friends down at Monster Pawn have this cool looking Gibson Amp from the early 60s for sale. Anyone ever see anything like this?! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-62-Vintage-Gibson-GA-79RV-Stereo-Tube-Amplifier-w-Cover-/321211158644?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac9ad5074
bolero Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 that is awesome...I would love to get one of them....two 15w amps, in stereo!! imagine the possibilities....and the sound would be projected nice & wide ps I need some of those knobs for my '62 GA8
GASguy Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Lark Street Music in Teaneck, NJ had one shaped like this one, but not in the excellent condition this one appears to be. I just checked it is no longer listed at Lark Street. They wanted more money than the EBay listing is asking for.
Horace Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 When I was a kid a friend's father had one and we weren't allowed to play it. We made fun of it calling it a hi-fi record player. Of course we were the fools.
skydog52 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 You better jump on that Brian, you can even play your accordion on it!
Kuz Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 That is one of the few Vintage Gibson amps that is considered HIGHLY collectible and near "grail" status. Wow, amazing condition.
fxdx99 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 That's very cool. And great condition. Didn't I just read an article on one of those in Vintage Guitar mag?
Gitfiddler Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 What a great piece of history! That amp would look great in your music basement. And the seller has an accordion for sale also! How irresistible is that??
tulk1 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Uh ... I can see why it's for sale. Did you see the input across from stereo? Kind of a deal killer ............
LK155 Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Ah, yup, this here's what you call yer ARRRRR VEEEEE, Clark. (Griswald, of course.)
smurph1 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Awesome Man!! That looks straight out of the factory!
cobrafast1 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 TOTALLY COOL !! Looks like a keeper to me for the vintage collector...
Guest HRB853370 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I think the decimal point might be accidentally too far to the right.... Some of you young'uns forget that many of the amps built in the 60's, notably Ampeg, had accordion input jacks. I owned a brand new 1966 Ampeg Gemini II 30 watt amp with a 15" Jenson in it, for my electric accordion days. I could play all the keyboard parts to Inagodadivida, Light my Fire, and 96 Tears. Those were my fave rock songs back then and I good get a good Farfisa sound out of my squeezbox.
