Fender Champ-Amp 5F1 Model Tube Amplifier (1960), made in Fullerton, California, serial # C-13376, tweed fabric covering finish.
Height is 12 in. (30.5 cm.), 13 1/2 in. (34.3 cm.) width, and 8 in. (20.3 cm.) deep.
This is a nicely preserved later model tweed Fender Champ from 1960, used but never abused, just maintenanced and sounding fantastic. Recent service included adding a grounded three-prong cable and replacing the filter and coupling caps; the original parts are included. In addition the bias was checked and jacks, pots, and tube sockets checked and cleaned. No circuit changes have been made. It has a tube-chart stamp "JC" dating to March 1960 and retains the original transformers dated 1960.
Externally the tweed is solid and fairly clean with some typical scuffing and a nicely smoked patina. The original leather handle is fully intact. The faceplate is very clean with most of the graphics still crisp and clear. The original Oxford speaker (dated the 2nd week of 1960) has been professionally reconed by Weber and sounds great with a punchy and deep tone. This is one of our favorite sounding Champs of late...a perennial favorite amp, small in size but a monster in tone! Overall Excellent Condition. Overall Excellent Condition.
