1968. For a school class party. The amp was a Teisco Checkmate Tube Amp with a 2X12 vertically mounted cabinet. For about 3 years I toted that amp from place to place and never had a single issue with it. At the time, I was playing a Penncrest Sunburst Semi-Hollow guitar. Playing songs by the Beatles, Stones, Animals, Beach Boys, Elvis, Yardbirds, etc. at the beginning and adding stuff by Cream, Hendrix, Deep Purple, etc. as they came out.
For a cheap amp the Checkmate actually played and held up quite well.
