I have an opportunity to pick up one of these at a very good price. Does anyone have any thoughts on them? I really don't need it. But a 60 watt Fender twin amp may be too good to pass up.

 

This isn't the exact amp. But it looks like this one with a bit more wear.

Red Knob Fenders don't have the best reputation. But that is quite possibly just Tube Snobbery. Wonder what circuit that actually is? It it was a Tweed Super 210, I'd say jump. Just not sure on these ... circa 1980's??

Those were amongst the first FMIC PCB based amps. Many people confuse these with Rivera-era Fenders, but they're not (no the red knob snakeskin covered Champ 12 is not a Rivera design either). IIRC, these were voiced with more of a modern (hot) preamp, definitely not the usual Fender cleans. As far as reliability, I can't comment.
