SOUND CITY 100 MARK 3 ALL VALVE GUITAR AMPLIFIER.

 

Here is a vintage 1960’s Sound City 100 mark 3 valve amplifier. Sound City were made by Dave Reeves for the Arbiter company. Dave Reeves later formed his own company called Hiwatt. It is all working as it should, some crackling of the pots, but not bad. It has an added volume control, which acts as a kind of pre-amp gain, as these were made before master volume amps. It has a chicken head knob and can be seen where it says ‘mark 3 – custom built’. Otherwise it appears to be all original, complete with its Partridge transformers.

Of course with all electrical equipment of this age, it would be wise to get it serviced.
