Fender Champ 5D1 1954


This is a 1954 Fender Wide Panel Champ 5 Watt Amp.

Rear view.

Shot of rear showing original speaker 6L with a DA stamp 395402. Works and sounds great.

Some work was done on the amp -- one filter cap replaced and the "death cap" removed. Build was by the famous Lupe.

Replaced all of the electrolytics and installed an 18/3 grounded power cord. Amp is quiet and sounds great so I left the original Astron signal caps for now.
