1940's Rick Electro

Post by kalimusic »

I picked up this little sweetheart on the bay over the weekend:

she has 2 6L6s. This Rickenbacker Electro is supposedly from the '40s. Anybody know about these? I don't have it yet; it's in transit. I'll let you all know when it arrives how it sounds, etc.

Beautiful amp, but know nothing about them. With two 6L6's it shoulkd be fairly powerful though, 25 or more watts probably. What's it have a 15" speaker?

I have one of these in my basement right now. I played through it at a rehearsal last night as two of my buddies were using my Crate VC and my Blues Deluxe. This thing sounded sweeet! with my 660/12 and 360/12. Sweeet!

It has a Jensen 8" in it. Original transformer and ancient Sylvanias. I can't think it's very powerful though. It does not get too loud.
