Ampeg B15-N 1964

Ampeg B-15N 1964 – 30W

A very good example in original condition, professionally serviced for safety and reliability without killing the vibe. Classic warm “Motown” tone with great tube feel, dynamics, and natural compression.

Service / work done:

removed the “death cap”, polarity circuit addressed, and the high-voltage setup in the speaker cable removed
installed a new grounded power cable
removed the old dusty insulation and installed new foam damping inside the cabinet
light cosmetic work: exterior cleaning + re-glued loose tolex
cleaned the pots
tubes measured and tested, bias checked, tubes burned in; cold solder joints inspected/fixed, grounding improved, etc.
speaker removed and cleaned (unfortunately it shows some fungus marks, but it works and sounds good); improved speaker mounting to reduce vibrations
Notes / technical condition:

still has the original tubes (!) with over 80% emission, only the rectifier tube is new
capacitors have been serviced/restored
original speaker!
If you’re looking for a real ’60s B-15N with proper service and tons of character, this is it.
