Hi
I have a Fender public address four channel reverb CFA 7001.
There is no seria:N on the manufag. plate just model CFA 7001.
I have try to get some information of it but couldn't fine any from net?
I wrote to Fender Sandinavia they didn't know but promised to ask from US. Nothing yet.
I read that Beatles useed this at roof top consert and maby also in Abby road album.
If you know anything let me know.

I can't find anything on this. Seems like a 1970's product. Do you have any larger photos of the front and back?

Also, I don't know where you heard the Beatles used it for the roof top concert, maybe they did. I don't know how anyone would know that. But why in the world would they use it to record an album. You don't use PA systems in a studio. EVER.

Hi
Yes you right not at album. It's in book Beatles sound or gear.
I haven seen it but I'v been told. Beatles had on that roof top consert Fender amps also and George played that nice rosewood tele. Maby it was sponsored by Fender?? In youtube there is some clips of that consert.

About PA it's solid state. so it's late 60's or early 70's.
It would be nice know more of it.

Thanks

I can send photos just need add.

Petes,

Go to Google.com and enter the terms CFA 7001 fender. I got about 10 pages of hits (including your conversation here on Strat-Talk). The first few looked promising. Several of the others were ebay ads, but maybe you could find one of those sellers who would be willing to share his knowledge with you. Happy hunting.

Hi Petes...I have this same PA system and it works fine, except the VU meter. I also have a copy of the owner's manual. Mine is a tube PA system made in 1969. -tedley
