VINTAGE GIBSON GA-5 VACUUM TUBE GUITAR AMP REBUILT RECAPPED 10 WATT AMPLIFIER
This is a nice, vacuum tube, Gibson GA-5 Skylark guitar amplifier.  It makes about 10 watts of sound.  The amp tone controls give it a wide range of tone from ice pick to train.  The amp is pedal friendly and makes it a rock machine.  This Skylark was probably made around the mid 1960's so it is approaching 60 years old.  That why these amps are refurbished.  The new filter capacitors and signal caps bring the tone back to life.  Resistors where replaced when more than ten percent out of balance.  Taking these steps make these tube amps durable and reliable.  The amp sounds new but still looks vintage.  The tolex on this amp is tough and lightly cleaned.  There are a few worn spots, loose edges and some paint spots but not too bad.  The speaker on the amp was replaced with a vintage CTS alnico speaker.  The "death cap" was removed.  A grounded power cord was added.  A new handle that closely resemble the old was added.  New feet were added.  The back panel is gone.  I tried to keep it looking original.
This is a Skylark model that uses a solid state rectifier, one 12AU7 preamp tube and a pair of EL84/6BQ5 power tubes.  All three tubes are vintage, US-made tubes.  I was not able to find a schematic of this Skylark model but was not required for rebuild.
