Many thanks
Nice. Amber lights just go with brown. 15" and Tele is a heavenly match.

You made this amp?
Made by a friend of mine to my exact specifications
Great looking amp!
I have a '56 Pro,and I can testify that when it is tuned properly through a good 15",it's really hard to beat.

so it is a repro? Clarify what is original and what is not.
Okay just saw the parts panel pics so I see that it is a new made amp. Where did you find the Fender Pro badge for the front?
Way cool amp...really cool in brown tolex.
"1960" Pro-Amp, The last 5E5A's were made in 1960 and the brown Tolex amps debued in 1960 (but not as narrow panel), here's my interpretation of what could have been.
Very cool.
I ask for a selfish reason.
In one of my conversions I wondered what a 5E5 would sound like, never having owned or even played one.
Familiar with 5C3, 5E3, and of course 5F1 and a few blackfaces I wanted to know what it would do.
So a Conn organ amp became actually a 5E5, (not "A"), and although it has far too much power for my home use I have a hard time finding a reason to get rid of it.
Great tone, great circuit.
I put in a master volume and like the tasteful use of an attenuator,(not too much) it gets the tone I want.
Congrats!
So is the Fender Badge a repro or an original vintage badge? I haave been looking for one.
Genuine Fender but not vintage, Fender used to manufacture lots of amp badges for restoration projects but not anymore, it was a lucky find on ebay.
You can go to shops that make trophies, plaques, rubber stamps and give them your art and they can make you just about anything.
P e a c e KYC
Strat or Tele out of a 5E3 .
what speaker is in the amp? Brand and magnet type?
Looks like a "reissue" Jensen P15N in post 4.
