No pictures, I'll get some upp if I can.
Says Guild MAster AMp, but doesn't come close to the schemo at Schematic Heaven by that name.
2x12 Jensen alnicos
The thing is pristine. Literally owned by an old lady who had it in a closet for 40 years. THing appears to be from 1955 or so. Two tone cab. Upper half is a blond coarse fabric. I'd call it tweed except that isn't the pattern of it. The pattern is tiny little "V" shapes in alternating darker and lighter tan. It is beautiful. Imagine looking at the surface of a coarse wood rasp, but purty colors.
Lower half is fake wood grain - for all the world, shelf paper. I'd think someone covered it, but the job is extremely neat and includes the rear panel
CHrome panel is perfect, biggish pointer knobs. FOur inputs. One is accordian/mic, while 2,3,4 are instruments, 3 and 4 labelled recording. VOlume control for 1 and one for 2,3,4. Bass and treble and two knobs for trem controls. Rotary power switch for standby and on, like old Gobsons, but the third position is "tweeters off". The thing has tweeters!
Under the hood there are a couple 12AX7s, but the most noticable feature is the row of SIX 50L6 output tubes. There appears to be two separate sets of speakers, but a common OT. There is no power transformer. A couple largish selenium rectifiers work right off the mains.
Nice brown canvas cover is fleece lined. Reminds me of old Hammond organ cover material, same stuff for Leslie covers. This amp cover even has a large zipper down the center of one end to make it easier to put on.
WHat is this thing?
