This amp was built during the final year of the Blackface era and carries all the benefits that come with it. Despite moderate signs of wear and a nickel-sized tear in the grillcloth, it's still in great structural condition. The speakers have been replaced with Eminence Alnico 10s, branded as Dixie Special Design, and they do an impressive job of capturing the sound and feel of the original Oxfords!Internally, the power cord and electrolytic caps have been replaced, but everything else is stock. The sound and naturally worn look make this a fantastic Blackface amp, with a stellar crunch when the volume is cranked!
