Cosmetic and Function Description
Cabinet, Chassis, and Face Plate:
the cabinet is structurally intact; the tolex shows some scuff marks and scrapes, most obviously on the bottom of the cabinet, plus the tolex on the frame that goes around the grille cloth appears to have "shrunk" along the four seams; the control panel has some noticeable scuff marks, scratches, and obvious wear in the finish, plus some of the printed lettering has worn off; the leather handle looks a little worn, but does not look like it's going to be breaking any time soon; the grille cloth is clean and free of holes
Power switch and Pots:
all the knobs and the power switch function properly; the tremolo does work, but it is extremely subtle
Jacks and Connectors:
both connectors function properly; the non-original 3-prong power cord and the footswitch cable both show some scuff marks on them, plus the footswitch housing has some typical scuff marks and scratches on it, however they all function flawlessly
LED Indicator:
the LED light works properly
Speaker:
the speaker sounds fantastic, but it does show some scratches on the back
Includes:
electric guitar combo amplifier (cover and manual not included)
