Hi guys,
Jono from The Music Locker here. Just wanted to share this with you guys and get your opinions on it.
We found this in a cellar in Rochdale, UK. It had been stood for ages and, unfortunately, woodworm had it. We were tempted to split it up but would rather have spent a bit more time and effort to get it back up and running. It was treated for woodworm and cleaned up (unfortunately there is still a mark on the front as you can see). It now plays and sounds great!
I absolute lovely seeing things that have been beaten up, broken and stored for too long come back to life again!
How do you guys see it for originality? We've dated it to 1964 from the serial number, but also the speakers, smooth tolex, brown grill and black vents. Is this correct?
Thanks again for all your help! Hope you love the story as much as we do!

You are VERY lucky that mice have not eaten the cones! Used to happen a lot to speakers in 'console' tellies!

By the look of the condition of the chassis, the transformers look original.
Nice find, although I think it might be a challenge to sell a bass AC30 for that money.
I had a mint (and I mean mint) one owner Twin Thirty with the original Celestions in complete working order.
I swapped it for a 74 Strat some 20 years ago......
And looking at your other threads, please keep in mind our guidance re dealers.
But might have been this one:
They look awesome! I had one similar, but slightly later and transistor. It's called the Taurus:
By all means post Qs re stuff, ask for advice/input, etc, but right now all of the treads that you have started appear to be thinly veiled FS threads.
