Fender 1982 (Rivera) Twin Reverb II Amp in Marina Del Rey for $500
Here is a very nice serious gigging amp for not a lot of money. These Fender Twin Reverb II amps were part of the last of the hand wired (non-PCB) tube amps to come out of the old Fullerton Plant. Designed by Fender's then Chief of Engineering Paul Rivera this was part of the line of well-thought out channel switching amps that included the Super Champ, Princeton II, Concert Reverb (aka Concert II) and the Twin Reverb II. I had a 1983 Concert Reverb for many years and I can attest that it was a monster with a wide range of great tones and a stellar clean channel along with excellent tube reverb.
This Twin is a 105 watt 2 x 12 combo amp with an addded gain channel and mid-boost as well as the standard Fender Twin Clean Channel and a nice tube driven reverb (there is no tremolo on any of these Rivera era amps). Don't expect Marshall or mesa Boogie tone from the lead channel on this amp. It is better suited to creating a contoured boosted lead tone similar to an overdrive pedal (but with tube saturation). The amp weighs 75 lbs and gets very loud. $500 is a terrific price for this much tube amp - a new Rivera Chubster would run you triple that and it would only be 40 watts.

Recently serviced at the Amp shop in Sherman Oaks. Sounds killer and looks terrific for its age.

Fender 75 Ptp Tube Amp In Cincinatti For $425
Next to a Mesa Boogie or an Ampeg VT-120 this is probably one of the the loudest compact 112 tube amps you can find.- and it includes the hard to find (and pricey) original footswitch as well. I can't speak for the green tolex (huh?) but it might...
