1953 Original Fender Champion 600 with the "TV Front ".Serial Number 3304 looks to make the build year 1953 according to myinformation. Purchased from the original owners estate and passed muster on a professional test bench. Works great, looks great and is an all around sweet vintage amp. Fantastic for harmonica as well. Slight cosmetic wear due to age, no abuse and has all the signs of a gentle use history. PayPal e-Check preferred. Thanks for looking.
's a little info: Champion 800/600 First introduced in 1948, it sported the name "Champion 800" (with 8" speaker), changing a year later to "Champion 600" (6" speaker) with circuit designation 5B1. It was rated at about 3 watts, featuring a "T.V. Front " style cabinet with two-tone blonde & brown vinyl covering. This style lasted until 1953, when Fender 's cabinet style changed to the "Wide Panel" design with a tweed cloth covering. Fender also renamed the circuit the 5C1, 5 standing for the decade (1950s), C for the third circuit revision, and 1 was the Champ's circuit designation. The 5C1 circuit was extraordinarily simple, using one 6SJ7 pentode in the preamplifier section to provide a single stage of voltage amplification, one 6V6 beam power tetrode in the power amplifier section, and a single volume knob and no tone controls. The Champ By 1955 Fender started putting its amps in the "Narrow Panel" tweed cabinet, and by this time the Champ was officially named the Champ. Up until 1956 Champs only had a six inch speaker, but the new 5F1 circuit of 1956 featured an 8". This circuit was also a little beefier than the original "Champion 800's" circuit, and was about 5 watts. I selected 3 days for handling time but it's normally much less. Winning bidder will be contacted at the end of auction with shipping info. Thanks!
