1962 Alamo Fiesta Creme, Very Good
Offered for sale;
Circa 1962 Alamo Fiesta amplifier serial number 60704. This amp is in very good condition, fully functional. A bit of the covering is frayed on the corners (see photos). Some vintage patina here without a doubt. There appears to have been a couple of caps replaced (see photo). The rest looks pretty original.
There is quite a bit of information available about the Alamo Company, manufacturing both instruments and amplifiers. The No. 2460 Fiesta amp debuted in 1962, it was basically a Capri amp with additional colors of vinyl covering offered. This is a nice basic amp featuring volume, tone and tremolo speed controls with 4-5 watts of output power.
This is a mild mannered piece of class A tube amp history. Play it in your living room with your Harmony or Kay or lap steel. It will not take your face off. It will soothe your frayed nerves.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
