M-98 “Hi-Fi”

1957

This amplifier is unusual in that it has a 3 x 8” speaker configuration and was billed in the Rickenbacker catalogs of the time as a “high-fidelity” amplifier having inputs for “microphone, phonograph and instruments.” Clearly, this amp was designed to include applications other than guitar. This particular example has three Jensen 8P-U speakers and a plastic strap handle. This model first appeared in the 1955 catalog with the two-tone covering.
