Hm- I can get one of those deeluxes- maybe I should. I have brown but no tweed...
That gold gets so brown- yummy.
Thanks Mike,

Which would you keep if you could only have one ?

Yum.

Mike- how many times when you purchased these were you able to do a real "test drive" prior to purchase? I find most Fender amps can readily be restored by a good conscientious tech.

Is the 60 deluxe one of your favs? What speaker do you have in there ? Thanks

Hard to answer that.

I think it has the original Jensen, but can't remember - will have to check.

Thanks Mike. Curious to know ( if original ) if it’s the P12Q or P12 R
