Here is a gem. I'm not sure the exact year of this amp, but it is somewhere in the early forties. It still has the field coil style speaker with the output transformer on the frame of the 12" speaker. It works and although I have not opened it I can see that the filter cap on the top of the chassis has been replaced (no surprise for a 80+ year old amp). The overall condition is good. the handle is worn and broken on one side but still on the amp (flat leather style). I am including a new replacement handle with the amp (see photo). The power cord has been replaced for safety (once again, no surprise) and it sounds good. This amp was originally designed to pair with a lap steel and these have become one of the favorites for harmonica players as well as home recording guys. Feel free to come up and try it out...the price is pretty firm and a true bargain compared to others on Reverb, etc. Thanks for looking!!
