    I just took a couple of pics of the amp chassis with my Galaxy Y phone, just waiting for Windows Update to finish updating Windows 10 on my laptop, after that I'll get the pics sorted out so that I can post them in this thread.


    While waiting for Windows to finish updating, I thought I would see what valves were installed in the chassis, here's what I found:


    Three 12AX7 valves, one 7025 (basically a lower-noise version of the 12AX7), one 12AU7A, and six 6L6 power valves!!


    Here we go, as promised, the pics of the amp chassis "as is":

    Should make a pretty good amp restoration project.


    So, it's looking like I'll have to build myself a 400 Watt Dummy Load for testing the amp's performance once I get round to doing whatever restoration work on it that it needs to get it up and running again, I wonder where I could source a new combo cabinet for it from?, or, should I just keep it as an amp head and invest in a new 4 X 12 Speaker box?

    It'll probably be good for annoying my noisy neighbors....heehee.....180 Watts of audio power.
