Working, Recapped, Not Noisy. Original except for tubes, some new caps , 3 prong power cord and LED lamps . Amp has been recapped , not sure how thorough the tech was, but it plays well and is not noisy. Both channels work. Only one front panel light is working - I put LED bulbs in it, not sure why . Long Heavy Duty 3 prong power cord.
All tubes glow a nice even color and that's good.
The amp has really nice nice cleans, and gets moderate loud through my Marshall 4x12 with greenbacks, and gets some decent breakup/ distortion.
I think in order for this amp to get as loud as it could be , it would need some circuit modification into a guitar type input.
The input jacks have some minor oxidation, but I'll put some Deoxit in for good measure. Tubes all glow nice, no redplating. On/ Off and Standby switches work well, and pilot light works. There is a switch for bright/ dim on the panel that works. Has slight pop when engaging power from standby switch.
All the inputs say "Microphone, so was a PA amp.. I'd also advise an inspection by a qualified tech to make certain this amp is 100%, there are still some old Capacitors in there.
Tube compliment is 2x 6l6 and 3x 12ax7.
Atomic Age Spaceship bridge cosmetics.
Cabinet is very solid, no issues
except some tolex edgewear on mostly one side only as shown.
Good candidate for guitar amp conversion.
Like most tube heads, this is one heavy mother, so stated shipping is on the low side.

As always, my feedback is top notch. I pack with great care,and send items promptly after payment is received.
