This amp is all original to my knowledge and I'll let the pictures do mostly all of the talking for me.
The only thing I replaced for an incredible upgrade in speaker is ¾ of the Oxford Speakers.
I kept a Single Oxford,
added a 68 Utah, and two Alnico (Green) Tweed like Bassman model cones
WA125 speakers that make this amp sound
better than any other Super Reverb I've ever heard.
This amp came with the stock ungrounded 2-prong AC power plug and the old brown paper Malory capacitors,
but
I did a cap job and replaced the old ones with the highest quality caps out there (Sprague ATOM) brand of
the same value.
I replaced the old 2-pronged power cord and installed a grounded 3-prong power cord instead for safety as well.
Comes packed:
a zip-lock baggy with all the original vintage caps that I replaced, and that funky old power cord.
(If you're a collector or a museum type person that's into that sort of thing).
DESCRIPTION OF RESTORATION
NOTE : CAPS REPLACED FOR SAFETY reasons alone — the
originals were 30 years old, leaky, unreliable, and were unsafe to play.
The only reason I replaced the other caps were for SAFETY, longevity,
playability, and since there is no change in awesome tone of the original
—
this amp is OFFICIALLY ready to rock for another 50 years.
That's it...
I was so very happy with this great little amp and I'm sure you will be too!
I'm moving and I'm unloading everything!
HAPPY BIDDING..
