I found this Magnatone 212 Sitting next to a dumpster at my storage facility in the 90's. It's only problem was a shorted power tube.

That looks like a 57-58 Custom 260?"Take two placebos, works twice as well." Enzo

I found the Super Reverb for $100. It was heavily modified. I kept some of the mods. One in particular was the conversion to a solid-state rectifier. I converted it to a 2x10 and made a new cabinet for it. It sounded amazing. My favorite amp. Unfortunately, it too was stolen.

Having heard the real thing once or twice "I" would definitely try to get it in top shape just to hear that again It'll find a home. Yours or otherwise. Something very special."Take two placebos, works twice as well." Enzo

Four 6L6 to make 30W ? Field coil speaker? That is a very nice piece (except the 200 pounds part).
