FS: '68 Fender Vibrochamp

I'm looking to sell my '68 Fender Vibrochamp. This is was the first-year silverface model with the aluminum trim around the grill. Basically blackface specs with silverface cosmetics. Externally, it showing its age. The tolex is a bit torn up, mostly on the bottom.

Internally, it's in good shape. It's had the basic mods needed to modernize it and keep it working: a 3-wire power cord, new power switch, and a cap job. The new bias caps are Sprague Atoms and the filter cap is a Mallory multisection. The rest is pretty much original. I have pictures of the insides if you want them. The speaker is a recent Fender replacement.

It does a great Fender clean sound, and starts to break up a bit around 5. The vibrato is fantastic, and I'll throw in the mouse footswitch I made for it - hey, it works, and it's good for a laugh.

$325 plus shipping. PayPal or money order.

Rad. I thought you were just saying this was your main amp...? Something stirring over there?

WOW...I love these old amps. I'm hoping that someone will want some naked chassis pics.

Good Luck with the sale.

Nah... I just decided a special amp just for church was a luxury I can't afford. My DIY 18 Watter clone is my "main" amp. Maybe I'll build myself a Champ someday after the kids are out of school (in the year 2022, but who's counting?)

Dang Rich I really have been wanting to try a VC and ALMOST impulsively bought this the other day, but I too would be buying it as a luxury. I got big stuff to save for currently! Good luck bro!

So, far I have interest in Switzerland - the miracle of eBay.

BTW - this offer still stands. If any bro's wake up and want to buy, PM me.
