Blackface Champ

[Buzz Wazz]

Have a Champ that looks exactly like the photo on this site of a
blackface Champ. Somebody told me it was not a true blackface but a
Rivera Champ...from what I can read, he designed a super champ vibrato
but nothing like this...
how do I know the true age/value of my Champ?

From what I can tell of the transformer numbers, it appears to have
been made in late 70's...is this right?

transformers are dated. 606-xxxx, or xxx, where xxxx/xxx=year/week.

 Fender switched back to the blackface era cosmetics in 1982. Champs produced in 1982 have a black control panel and silver sparkle grill cloth.
