Item History & Price
Dallas Arbiter Vox Hand Wired AC-30 Top BoostThis is a post-1975 Vox AC30 retrofitted with a pair of 1964 Celestion Silver Alnicos.
Dallas Arbiter, a British company owned by CBS, took control of Vox in 1972. They moved production to the Shoeburyness England. They pr...oduced this excellent hand wired AC-30 Top Boost amp from 1974 through 1977. The new amp was again made with the same care and attention to detail as when JMI made the AC-30. The AC-30 was returned to the original Vox design.
The tube complement of the standard, top boosted version of this amp included five ECC83, one ECC82, and four EL-84s.
This early example of the CBS/Arbiter AC-30 Top Boost amp has a 13 ply baltic birch enclosure. The cabinet had six slender JMI style air vents for improved ventilation. This hand wired version of the AC-30 continued to be built until Dallas Industries sold Vox to Rose Morris in 1979.
