Magnatone?!?

As one of the older audio hobbyists here I thought I at least had heard of most brands. When I first saw this post I thought it was a Magnavox, but still didn't look familiar.

Duh!!! Didn't occur to me it would be a guitar amp/speaker. Then I saw that Buddy Holly used one so knew it must be good. ;^)

Great video. - Tre' 12:09:59 08/30/22 (0)
I'm going to put a link to that video in my ad for this guitar amp when I sell it.

There is one on Reverb (on-line sales site for guitar stuff) right now offered at $1800.00 but it's not as clean as mine.

Thanks.

Magnatone is known for its implementation of frequency-shifting vibrato using varistors. They did this at a time when other manufacturers were using the term to describe simple volume modulation.
