Vox AC-10 Twin JMI 1965

No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California.

This Vox AC-10 Twin is the stuff!  The low-wattage, EL84 breakup is unmistakably Vox, and it is so, so good!  It doesn't matter what you hit this amp with, it just sounds great.

The amp is in excellent shape and is very original too.  I swapped out the original filter cap can and a couple of electrolytics, leaving the rest of the circuit untouched.  There is one change to the "plinthe" - the wooden tray that the chassis is bolted to and slides into the cab with the back off.  The original vibrato pedal cable was cut.  A hole was drilled into the plinthe, and an RCA connector was soldered to the cable to allow a footswitch to be connected and disconnected, as opposed to the original, hard-wired switch.  

A vintage Vox footswitch is included to switch the tremolo on and off.

Other than that, the amp is original, including the speakers.  As for the speakers, they are original Elacs, model 10N/85, and the original Pulsonic cones are in place.  One speaker surround had a 1/8" crack, so we patched it - see pics.

The identifying features that date this amp to 1965: Single pin corner protectors.  Basketweave covering.  Black lattice grille. Grey escutcheon (control panel). Big feet. Rotary mains voltage selector. Black metal vents. Original Parmeko transformers. Type 7 serial number plate. 

You don't see too many of these, and this is a good one!

We will ship the chassis separately from the cabinet to protect it from damage.  This is the only way to ship a vintage Vox.  Some easy assembly will be required.

Shipping policy:

When you purchase this item you are hereby agreeing to this shipping policy. We remove tubes from amps that could be damaged in shipping.  We do this because we have experienced shipping issues in the past, and this is our prevention measure.  Vintage amps are sold as-is because they can need service intermittently.  Everything is tested here in our shop on the way into our inventory, and again before shipping.  We will cover shipping damage, but we cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in 20-to-50-plus year old amps. Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions.  If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com.  Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
