jonlewandowski 37 posts Feb 21, 2012 5:24 PM	Added video below....any help would be great! Hi everybody....just picked up a Premier 71, appears to be a '65. It is in excellent original condition, 1x15 C15N (I believe), 2 6L6's, bunch of preamp tybes. Has tremelo. I have not found much info on this model on the web and would like to know more about it. Watts? Is it a good harp amp? Seems to be just the way it is, but can it be better? Any info. would be great... Thanks.... Jon Last Edited by on Mar 02, 2012 11:53 AM

jonlewandowski 39 posts Feb 22, 2012 8:39 AM	@Kingley....actually a later model...has the white plastic "Premier" logo on the top front...still 2 tone tan and brown. Has just 1 - 15" speaker... Thanks!
