FS: Ampeg B15 Project

spankdaplank · #1 04-25-2011, 10:02 PM

My leaving the country sale continues.

Here is a late 60's/early 70's Ampeg B15 in need of a little TLC. It will never be a prom queen, but it's ready to be a real player.

The Good: I did a complete cap job on it with parts from Filptops.
There is also a new set of tubes with NOS Sylvania and GE 6SL7's.
I will include 2 speakers; the stock CTS which looks to be reconed and an EV 15DLX which seems to be the functional equivalent of an EV15L. The EV is really killer, but I am including both for the purists.
This amp is the loudest 35 watts I've ever heard with the EV speaker.

The Bad: There is a pretty substantial 60hz hum through the speaker at idle that I never diagnosed.

The Ugly: The faceplate markings are faded. The sideplates on the chassis are a little dinged. The Tolex is nicked and torn, and the grill cloth is stained.

GOOD NEWS!: I have the correct replacement Tolex and grillcloth from Fliptops. I will include a can of Scotch 77 spray adhesive for the Tolex.

All in all this amp will be a killer player with a little bit of work.

$550 shipped CONUS Paypal only please.

Also if someone wants to pick this up in New London,CT the price is $475.
I found all the parts I got for it from Fliptops so included is new corners, a correct replacement latch, top rubber gasket, and 2 correct replacement power and standby switches.
BUT WAIT! There's more!
I will also include a spare EV15DXL speaker along with the one in the cab and the CTS.
