Fender Showman - Can't Find My Amp

[mcleaves]

I have a fender Showman Solid state combo amp that is vintage 1980 or
so I believe. I can not find any matching information about this amp.

It is 200W, has clean and dirty channels as well as reverb. The
unique item on the faceplate is the 5 band slider EQ, which I have
never seen on a showman. I have also not seen another Showman combo.

Can anyone tell me about this amp. I have been playing it for years
and the EQ recently acted up. I don't ever want to part with it as I
simply love the clean sound.

It only cost me a couple hundred used back in the late 80's so I know
it's probably not a collector, but since it doesn't show up in any
charts it certainly is rare.
