Note that the dimensions of this board will not be the same as an original Fender board, but it should be small enough to fit in the original position used in these amps, mounting hole dimensions will differ. It does not use the 60's style thin double board sandwich and eyelet construction (prone to dirt and moisture ingress) but instead is fitted with sturdy turret lugs standing 8.4mm above the board, fully wired and tested and ready to use. This board is a 70mm x 35mm turretboard built on 2.5mm thick heavy duty British Paxolin sheet in dark brown.

If you don’t have an early Fender amp in your collection, you might want to consider having this one! Later "silverface" amps retrofitted to this circuitry are described as having been "blackfaced," a reference to the black faceplate used on these amps during much of this era. Some 1964 blackface Showmen were still covered in blonde Tolex rather than the usual black. The complex brownface "harmonic vibrato", however, was replaced by a simpler electro-optic oscillator. The AA763 (July 1963) and improved AB763 (March 1964) ("blackface") circuit is arguably considered the "best" circuit version produced for this amp by collectors and aficionados. In August 1967, Fender changed the cosmetics from the “blackface” to the “silverface” style. But it really came into its own in the famous 45-watt 2x12" piggyback configuration (ultimately discontinued in 1974). It then evolved to a 3x10" 26-watt tweed combo.
The original Fender Bandmaster was introduced in 1953 as a 1x15" tweed combo. This amp features the very desirable AB763 circuitry. Overall, this is one of the nicest examples of a blackface Bandmaster we’ve seen in a while. It has been recapped and now has a 3-pronged grounded plug. Cosmetically the head shows some minor tolex scuffs, surface corrosion on the chassis straps and corners, some very minor wear on the grille.
