1964 Fender Tremolux Blackface Tube Amp Head Model AA763 Vintage Rare Works!

Description: 1964 Fender Tremolux AmpModel AA763 Electric Guitar / Bass Amplifier Head Made in USA Includes Cover This is another rare bird. Fender didn’t make very many Smooth Brown Tolex piggy-back amps but they made this one no question. This is evidenced by the black staples holding the shielding screen in the cabinet, indicating that this Tolex has never been changed since leaving the factory. I bought this amp from a musician friend who was not the original owner. The original owner installed a DIN socket and covered over the serial number for reasons we do not know. It has long since been disconnected from any circuitry. The amp is obviously an export model as evidenced by the voltage selector on the rear of the chassis that is set at 117 Volts for USA operation but can be adjusted easily for foreign countries. Recently (Sept 2024) I took it to my current amp tech and he replaced the filter caps, changed the power cord, powered it for an hour and checked operation. He modified the tremolo to a bias modulated tremolo circuit. It feeds off of a 12AX7 tube to give a more realistic sounding tremolo. He says it’s now in great shape. There is a cigarette burn on the top of the cabinet. When I bought the amp it had a black painted grille so I changed it to the original Fender gold grille. I also changed the chassis straps and the cabinet corners but all the other hardware is original as far as I know.
