I've got a '59 Bogen Challenger that doubles as a space-heater in winter with no modifications.
I got it at a church yard sale for $15 and then spent about $150 recapping it and replacing the preamp tubes. The old RCA power tubes and dual-rectifiers still work fine. I made a y-cord and plug into both preamp channels. Pumped through a couple of Eminence Tonkers in an old Peavey 2 x 12" p.a. cab. It's vintage and funky, but this rig will send a Fender Twin, I own a '74 model, home with it's tail-between it's legs. It's only one channel with no effects built in, but that's why God created the Vox Tonelab.

[QUOTE="skunkape, post: 15765, member: 950"] I've got a '59 Bogen Challenger that doubles as a space-heater in winter with no modifications. I got it at a church yard sale for $15 and then spent about $150 recapping it and replacing the preamp tubes. The old RCA power tubes and dual-rectifiers still work fine. I made a y-cord and plug into both preamp channels. Pumped through a couple of Eminence Tonkers in an old Peavey 2 x 12" p.a. cab. It's vintage and funky, but this rig will send a Fender Twin, I own a '74 model, home with it's tail-between it's legs. It's only one channel with no effects built in, but that's why God created the Vox Tonelab. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"> [/QUOTE]
