Rare*
*The new owners at Fender wanted to release an all-new Fender 'SilverFace' amp BUT the new 1968 circuits for the first SilverFace VibroChamps weren't ready in time for production SO some 'Frankenstein' amps were quickly and quietly sold, without any fuss - THEN - Fender's meddling new owners adjusted the BlackFace-to-SilverFace circuit 'problem'
*This Fender mismanagement makes this particular amp very distinguished and rare because, cosmetically, it is 1968 SilverFace on the outside but 'pre-1968 SilverFace' - all Blackface circuitry on the inside
Tube Amplifier
The only hand-wired, soldered point-to-point, world-famous
all BlackFace amplifier tone, favoured by recording and performing artists, you'll ever need, for guitar or harmonica
The only changes I made from the pure original amp bought from MASS STREET MUSIC Lawrence, Kansas:
Better Vintage Tubes
3-Prong Heavy Duty Power Cord
[Aluminum\Nickel\Cobalt] AL Ni Co Magnet Speaker Upgrade
Being an electric Blues harmonica player, I switched the power light Jewel to a Blue one ...as pictured
Platforms

I hope this answers all your questions. A local tube amp tech expert has inspected and tested it - and it's just fine. Full Disclosure. There's nothing 'fishy' about this deal. If you can afford it, buy it, You won't be sorry you did!
Fender's Vibro Champ-Amp was introduced in 1964 as part of the redesigned 'BlackFace' era amplifiers, utilizing a Class A amplifier with 12ax7 preamp tube and 6v6 power tube making about 6 watts with a tube driven (12ax7) tremolo circuit. The cabinets were solid finger jointed Pine with an 8" alnico magnet speaker
In 1968, Fender updated the cosmetics including Aluminum trim around the grill cloth and the Silver\Blue faceplate
The 'BlackFace' amplifier section was unchanged in THIS 'SilverFace' 1968 VibroChamp model.
