1950s Alamo Model 3 Amp - Suprisingly Good!
Our users rate Reverb
I was shocked when I plugged a guitar into this little amp! It was built in the 1950s but I can use this amp in the exact same way as if it were any small wattage tube amp produced today.

Offers welcome and expected
It is more than loud enough for bedroom and living room play, breaks up at a really reasonable volume and sounds good both clean and with break up. I expect it would record very well.
The cab has obviously been stripped of any covering or oroginal finish and it seems to have been inexpertly refinished. Several places you can see where the veneer has broken off of the plywood. A hole is visible as well in the front grill but the speaker wasn't affected by this injury that I can see. A small rattle can be heard when playing it pretty loud but it sounds to me like a screw that needs tightened up somewhere and not the speaker.
