Vintage 1960s Carlsbro Sound CS40-60 PA MK1 EL34 Valve Amplifier Lay Down Trans
These early Carlsbro amplifiers are absolutely renowned for their great sound. This one was purchased from the original owner who was local to our shop. He'd owned it since purchasing it new from Carlsbro themselves in Mansfield. It is one of the earliest Carlsbro amplifiers out there, just after the script logo amps. It has the original transformers included - which are actually used by the Marshall amplifiers of the time. The 2x EL34 valves are replaced JJs, and the 3x ECC83s are the original Brimars. Underneath there have been a few changes to the circuit board, including 4x capacitors recently changed. The original Carlsbro badge has broken in places, but still attached, and the first volume knob. has a crack in it. A few scuffs throughout too. Please check out the in-depth pictures below as these form part of our description. This amplifier has been serviced to a playable & safe standard, by one of our leading amp techs. To find out more about what our service includes, please check out our terms and conditions before purchasing.
