Got a new amp the other day...

Thats right...

I got Another...

Vibrochamp. (74 or 75)

This one is totally stock though. Even has the original speaker still...

And it also has the original Tubes even! Which is pretty kool I think (not that 70's RCA grey plates are anything special or anything, just kool that its got the original tubes).
Accourding to the guy I got it from, It was bought New by his church in the mid 70's. They used it a few times, Then it sat in a storage room basically un-used until recently. It looks practically brand new. How cool is that?

Sounds completely different than my other VC. Probably due to the other one haveing a 10" weber speaker, and this one having the original Oxford alnico 8". The different tubes, and modern filter caps in my other one probably also account for some of the difference. Now I just gotta decide which one I like more.

Wow, thats amazing, my Pro Junior Burned through about 70 dollars worth of preamp tubes in a year... A lot out of curiosity on my part and playing it cranked for hours on end.. But still, those tubes are like 30 years old? I wonder how many hours are on them. I should look for some old RCA tubes like that.

I dunno how many hours are on them, Not very many I'm guessing. But I dunno for sure.

Cool deal bro! Now, get a killer Weber 8 for that puppy and run those things in STEREO!!!

I used to have several Champs and Vibrochamps and in fact have been known to run 4 of them at a time...VERY COOL!

Yeah actually My plan for them was exactly that, Stereo studio rig! haha.

I'm not sure I even wanna replace the speaker truthfully. I actually like the way it sounds alot as is. But, I'm sure I will eventually, haha. So what would ya recommend?
