At some point in the late 70s or early 80s there was a failed attempt at repairing Little Joe, so he was left in pieces in a cold wet garage. Where he sat, and waited... for decades.  When he was finally rescued by our friends in Casino Queen  they knew they had stumbled onto something cool, but how cool? How about 1968 Drip Edge Fender Super Reverb with original factory JBLs level of cool? How about all original American made RCA preamp tubes (that still test great) as bonus cool? With a lot of love, some late nights, and a gallon or two of mold killer a bell-like chime finally cut through the decades of grime and neglect. It turned out that some poor soldering skills in the power supply and a wrong (really wrong) fuse were what had forced Little Joe to live in the garage in the first place. The damp had caused some warping of one of the speaker cones, and there is a slight rub that is slowly getting better. Hopefully we can avoid a recone on this classic speaker, and Little Joe will go down as one of those legendary barn finds you tell your grandkids about.
