Weekend Deal: Fender Vintage Tweed Bronco Amplifier

Up for grabs is what some Fender vintage enthusiasts consider to be one of the best solid state amplifier that Fender has ever produced. Those acquainted with Fender's vintage history should know a little about it. It's is a rather rare amp, was in production only for a very limited time in the ~1990s, you don't see much of these for sale.
I initially acquired it for collection purposes only (who wouldn't like a beautiful tweed amp in their living/bedroom right?), and was planning to change the speakers, but too lazy to do it, since it's not my main amp. Selling to fund other GAS.

It emulates the Fender Tweed amps with tube-like tones very accurately. It sounds amazing as it is right now, but upgrade the speakers to your favourite ones or use the speaker out into your favourite cabinet and you're in tone heaven. Get the much sought after Fender tube-like crystal clear cleans at bedroom levels, without having to crank a real Fender tube amp up to get a good sound and annoying your neighbours.

Just did a run through of the amp to check. It is still working fully functional, just as Fender amplifiers are renowned for it's reliability. This thing is not a toy, it is really loud.

Cosmetics wise, the amp is passable. The front exterior looks fairly decent enough. However the back panel is rusty, considering it's age.I have pasted alphabet stickers to indicate the various controls.The power plug outlet has also been changed to 3-pin (refer to pics to see more)

This Bronco is a completely solid state amplifier using integrated circuits to control both the preamp section as well as power amp section of the amplifier.
Solid state diodes are used to rectify the input AC mains electricity going into the amp to DC.
It is housed in a tweed style cabinet constructed of medium density fiberboard and covered in a diagonal tweed fabric similar in appearance to amplifiers produced by Fender in the late 1950s.
The controls mounted on the top-rear of the amplifier. -
