Refurbed by Andy Fuchs if my memory serves and in killer condition.

yes but I live in Canada so theres no way for me to go and take a look at it

I know but Jay amp is sold

My advice would be to just keep your eyes open. 212-65's and the more difficult to find 212-75 do show up on ebay and generally don't get as much interest as 210 or 115 models due to their size/weight. I'd still recommend holding out for an earlier model with phase inverter tube and the black music man figures on silver background. If you are lucky enough to see one with the Eminence speakers from the factory - don't think -buy! Even the newest MM amp is something like 25 years old now so you should expect that the electrolytics will need changing. All of the MM's I've had have been very reliable and great quality builds. They're well known for their clean sound but I think they dirty up just right - good with pedals too. They are somewhat like the Electra's of the amp world in my mind - still reasonably priced and top quality gear.

hey Jay
could you explaine to me whats the phase inverter tube,is it like the one I show'd you on EBAY #260951973805/MUSICMAN MUSIC MAN 65 212
again thank you
Daniel

The 212-65's now that I think of it - should all have the PI tube - it's the 212-75 series that does not. Both are fine amps the 65 has the PI tube and alnico speakers, the 75 has ceramic speakers, a bit more power and a pretty cool phaser built in.

thank you Sir
the one Im looking at as a new grill cloth and is missing the logos are they hard to find
Daniel

The grill cloth is not made anymore but one of the Fender styles - I forget which - is close. The metal badges are hare hard to find but do come up once in a while. They can get kind of expensive on ebay. Unless you are a collector I wouldn't let the lack of either one stop you. I'd be more concerned with the back panels that are not shown in the pictures. I don't know anything about Naylor speakers either.



I'd be more interested in this one

Or even this 410

thanks I will watch the 110 model it looks great
and also thank you for being my eyes on the other Amp... I never notice the missing back panel

This one looks quite nice - Ask anout the footswitch - it looks like there is one but not the original Music Man switch. Good speakers too. If you could get this one for around $600 shipped you'd be doing pretty good.
