A 1961 Gibson Skylark GA-5T amp in Very Good condition.
This all-original vintage Skylark amp has a single 6V6 power tube producing around 4 1/2 watts. Similar design and performance to the Fender Champs of the same era. This is the Tremolo model, hence the T in the model name. This version of the GA-5T was produced from 1957 to 1961, so this particular amp is the last year before the amp changed to the Crestline configuration.
Tube complement is 6v6 (power), 12AX7 (preamp), and 5Y3 (rectifier). Original 8" Jensen speaker. Controls include a power switch, volume control, and tremolo frequency control. Serial number 108099B.
Recently inspected and serviced by our local Amp expert. Cleaned jacks. Corroded solder joints were reflowed. Pilot lamp holder replaced. Power transformer repaired, 6BM8 power tube was replaced. Vintage-Style insulation added to heater wires which had worn plastic insulation. Fully tested and burned in after service.
