Picked up a vintage Rickenbacker amplifier... I never even knew Rickenbacker made amps! Its an M-8, which is comparable in size and power to a Fender Champ, probably from the late 50s or early 60s. I have never seen a Rickenbacker amp, so I had to have this just as a conversation piece! I will post pictures soon!

You guys ever seen a Rickie amp before?

I've seen a bunch. Apparently, the circuitry is pretty nice

Very Fenderish!

Here are a couple pics!

It does need a little work - a good clean up, new speaker, and the handle is not original, but its kinda cool cause I've never seen one before!

I'll post more pics when I do more work on it.

Hey Jac.... sorry to say I have no update as of yet

The last several months I haven't worked on any amps (I still haven't completed the tweed Deluxe I started over a year ago :shock:

) but hopefully at some point I will get to finish this amp as well as my Deluxe, and get a few clips posted.

Its weird how you get involved in other stuff and next thing you know MONTHS pass by!
