  • What amp is this?

    Hey guys, anyone know what kind of amp this is?

    Old 60's I'd guess.
    5Y3 rectifier
    3 12AX7's
    2 6973's

    Similar construction/chassis as a Silvertone.
    2 channel, trem on ch 2.

    Thanks.

    Doesn't look the same, but tube lineup matches Gretch 6156 Playboy. Maybe search for variants or check if schem. is same.

      It seems to match the 1965 9023a found here pretty well...

          Yeah, that's it alright, thanks.

          Figured it was one of the generic Supro/Valco/Sears family.

          Looks good, sounds good.
          Just not much power for it's size.

            Someone actually did the mod in the second link you posted as it has a pair of 6Z5 output tubes in it.
