Fender Vibrolux 6G11A 1962

The brown Vibrolux combines 6L6 power with one 12 inch speaker. A hard to find combination in a vintage amp. The vibrato is bias vary.
Both transformers are replacements from a 1969 Vibrolux. I replaced the output transformer with an early brown Mercury Magnetics tone clone.
The chassis is very clean and only needed replacement of aging electrolytics.

The speaker is a 1980s Celestion Vintage 30. It works well with this amp. At about 30W, this amp is a needed bridge between 20W deluxes and 40W supers, pros and concerts.
