1960's Bartell Contessa CA-15 Tube Amp

Picked this Contessa up yesterday, cleaned the pots out and gave it a good cleaning over all. Plugged her in out at the cabin tonight and gave it a test run. VERY Happy with it, the 12" speaker sounds phenomenal, it has a lo and Hi gain input, volume, bass and treble. Also a jack for an external speaker.

    Thanks John! What are you thinkin' on the pallet???

    Thanks BLC! I am leaning towards tubes these days versus the newer amps. Tubes are just soooooo much richer in sound  :-) Plus the old amps just look COOL!

    Pat, I hauled home a pallet.   Rough wood, maybe cottonwood.   Hmm....
