{"product_id":"gibson-br-6-tube-amplifier-1947-2674","title":"Gibson BR-6 Tube Amplifier (1947)","description":"Gibson BR-6 Model Tube Amplifier, c. 1947, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, brown fabric covering finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis was Gibson's less expensive amplifier offering in 1946-7, simple and relatively lightly built but nonetheless effective. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe BR-6 has a circuit little changed from its 1930's ancestors with two inputs but only a single volume control, a bottom mounted chassis with two 6v6 power tubes, and an 8-10 watt output. A single 10\" field-coil speaker is enclosed in the simple box cabinet which is almost completely open from the rear. Three symetrical openings in the face of the brown-fabric covered cabinet are covered in gold patterned \"radio\" cloth, and beneath them is a gold block letter GIBSON logo. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe BR-6 definitely has a no-frills feel but is still a well-made and good-sounding amp, intended for students and professionals on a budget and originally retailed at $77.50, the same price as the prewar EH-150. This still makes a good raunchy-sounding harp or low-volume guitar amp today, and is a nice companion for any 1940's Gibson electric steel or Spanish guitar.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHeight is 17 in. (43.2 cm.), 14 in. (35.6 cm.) width, and 8 1\/8 in. (20.6 cm.) . \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcellent overall; appears to be all original including tubes, cord, and even the leather handle. Some scuffing and small tears to fabric -- otherwise, very nice.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853334827148,"sku":"2674","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_18d2b794-2a51-471b-afd1-36e0cdf640ac.jpg?v=1774334880","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-br-6-tube-amplifier-1947-2674","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
