Looks like a Plush or a Kustom.

Hey BC.


"It is what it is." And Orpheum. I've serviced a couple of these over the years but my memory was that the manufacturing site was Chicago - ah well. Anyhoo, the ones I services were "middle grade" us made amps - sort of like the upper grade ones made and sold for Sears and Monkey Ward (manufacturer/s eccape me right now). Anyhoo, fairly straighforward designs with lighter trannies/chassis and usually point to point wiring. Worth respring and often pretty good sounding with a decent speaker.

my thoughts on the amp was that it was a combo that someone made into a head, and i think the tuck n roll wasnt original.
