About this listing
1960 Fender Harvard 5F10. When a piece of gear has patina like this it means one thing, it must be a good one ‘cause it was played! Serial number shows this as an early 1960 Harvard, Original Power and Output transformers dating to 1960, speaker dates to late 1958 and was reconed by Jensen expert Gordon Speakerman out of Seattle. Amp was serviced in 2018, filters and a few out if spec resistors changed. Westinghouse 6v6 power tubes tubes. Sounds wonderful, these Harvards are famous for being used by Steve Cropper on his Booker T and the MG’s recordings so grab a Tele, put the volume on 5 or 6 and channel Steve Cropper, you’ll get the tone you hear on those famous Booker T records.
