I have a mint all original 73 with an interesting provenance. As I no longer gig, it is my only amp and sounds fantastic.
Great find, BTW.

My '69 is outstanding - as close to the sound I am looking for. after some adjustments. I have the orig. speaker (in great shape in a box) and have an 8SC in there now. Like all have said, get I checked out by a good amp tech - the tech will let you know if it's worth fixing. If it is - go for it.

I had a '78 VC that I got brandy new that year and later so stupidly lent it to a fellow guitar player that I thought was a friend.
I never got it back.
He ain't a friend of mine no more.

I have a '66 VC that's a killer little amp. Only issue is a grounding problem - still has the 2-prong plug (I know, I know, get that taken care of!!!)
Just have to make sure I don't touch any metal on my other amps while playing it. Other than tubes I think mine is original.

duplicate post.
IF you learn to hear the noise that is present when that tw0-prong power cord is mis-oriented, the amp will sound better......and there is less of a chance of some shock.

@ T.B. : I did the same as you, since I got my VA 185 G (too lazy toget to those image shack & stuff I wish I could load up images right from the laptop!), I lend my E.C Vibro Champ to a friend, & now I don't miss it. The VA is running with a GZ34 & a couple of 6L6 for that ol'Charlie Christian sound, that is good & bad at the same time : I'll need another one that'll go with 5Y3 & a couple of 6V6 to get into that Deluxe bluesy sound:salude:salude:salude
