Offered for sale is a documented vintage Fender Vibrolux Reverb built around an original late-1965 blackface Vibrolux Reverb chassis with its original Schumacher transformer set, original Jensen C10NS speakers, and an original 1966 Vibrolux Reverb cabinet professionally restored by Mojotone in 2024.

This amp has been in my possession since 2003. I purchased the original orphaned chassis and speakers as a project and have spent more than two decades carefully restoring and preserving it while retaining as much originality as possible. The sale includes extensive documentation, original removed components, restoration receipts, and photographs dating back to the original acquisition.

This is not a collector-grade "all-original" museum piece, but rather a professionally maintained, highly documented vintage Vibrolux Reverb with original transformers, original Jensen speakers, original blue molded signal capacitors, and a circuit that remains substantially original to Fender's AA864 blackface specification.
