    Sort of
    35+50+12 adds up to 97V, close enough, and a not too large wirewound resistor drops the remaining 13V (these things come from the "nominal 110V" era)
    Something I saw now and then was to put a 12V pilot lamp in series to drop those extra volts but bypassed by a resistor, because lamp did not use 150mA (like filaments did) , rather some 40 to 60 mA.
    No big deal.

    EDIT: classic tube complement in simple amplifiers was: 35W4 , 50C5 (might also be 50L6) , 12AV6

      Juan, post #3, he says there are TWO 50L6s. SO you have to add in that extra 50v somewhere.

      35W4 and 50C5 are the classic small tubes, the 50L6 and 35Z5 are classic octal.

        Did it have an input labeled “Mike” ? This one does

          I saw that initially and thought it quite funny/odd that they actually screen printed "MIKE" instead of "MIC".
          Or, maybe the amp was made only for guys named Mike.

          Edit: If you pull the chassis, you might be lucky enough to find information inside. Sometimes, manufacturers would sign their name or have a sticker inside.

            My amp repair guy and I looked everywhere when he opened it up. Nothing in there to help identify it.

              My first guess is Danelectro, second guess is Univox (japan). The big speaker code look like 274 maybe RCA? Tweeter speaker code is 433 Cleveland.

                Ok, so no one here knows what it is, any guesses on what it’s worth?

                  It is worth exactly as much as other old tube amps without provenance. Maybe $40 to $100 bucks depending on the sucker.
