Model 110 and 120 Amplifiers

The 110 and 120's that I've heard about have been low power amps, possibly designed for accordions. The 110 looks like it has a 10" speaker. The later 120 has a 12" speaker and the older ones have an oval speaker in them

This first one was on eBay and claims to be a very early Premier 1x10. This has a fancy wood cabinet.

It looks like a premier chassis and has the script Premier logo. It doesn't have the multicolored knobs.

I thought that the amp above was an oddball, but it is actually an early model 110. Here is the picture of the one I found in West Virginia. It is for sale for $275 which seems like a good price. It is missing the original handle and I can't see the back, but the website says that it works. This may not have much power, but for the thre Premier collector it is quite a find.

Model 110 with the overbite. The top part extends over the speaker area.

The Model 120 is cool. I am told that this on is very low power, but new tubes might perk it up. Check out the YELLOW knob!

This is another style Model 120 - without the overbite. This amp has the neat fan guard on it so you don't accidentally cut your fingers off. It still has a yellow knob, and this one probably made about 8 years after the one above.

Here is a later Model 120 off of eBay. It has 2 6V6's and looks to be the equivalent of a Fender BF Deluxe. Vintage about 1962-63?

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
