No name vintage amplifier

[Joe Picker]

I've had this little amp for years and finally dug it out of the pile and started playing it. Good tone, cool tremolo. What the heck is it? Image:

Why SS? How do you know?

[Joe Picker]

My amp tech told me it has a solid state rectifier, whatever that means. I'm a guitar player, not too swift with electronics.

If that's all (regarding SS) it would still be considered a true tube amp.

What are the tubes? I'm thinking 12AX7/ECC83/7025, 5Y3, EL84/6BQ5.

There are 3 tubes shown in the pics, but I don't see a 6BQ5 size.
I'd guess two 12AX7's and a 6V6.
The transformers almost match this guy's numbers from a wards-airline: http://www.tdpri.com/threads/wards-a...high-b.748336/

So I'd say it might match this schematic:

The cabinet measures: W 17 inches (43.18cm)
D 7 1/4 inches (18.45cm)
H 20 (50.8cm)

What does it say under the power light?

D'oh, yeah, I blitzed on the "solid-state rectifier" part... Meesa Dumbis!
