Does anybody have any information re: RIC's model M-88 amp. It's from around 1960 and has an 8" Jenson speaker (not sure if speaker is original). Any information would be helpful including history, first hand impressions / ratings, wattage, current value, etc.. Thanks, PJL

Rickenbacker's answer to Fender's 'Champ'. I might have an official schematic; I'll look. Samples I've tested deliver a solid 6 watts. They sound terrific and are seen at vintage shows typically <$100.

Thanks, Tracy. I just bought one and it makes some weird muddy noises at higher volumes so I'm thinking about having it worked on. Also, the tone control has no effect whatsoever, so I'll have that looked into as well.
Thanks again.
