If I remember correctly these were brought out about the same time as the "Brutes" "Mini Brutes" and the other BIG little amps of the 70's and 80's, it's supposedly rated at 150 watts and works ok, and is less than 10 miles away.... so I nailed it.

worst case scenario is I have a nice cane-grilled dovetailed oak extension cab... should refinish and clean up nice.

anyone know anything about em? they were out of Pomona, but can't find out a whole lot about them except some reviews on HC which are ok.

for $51 bucks we'll take the drive, and I have a celestion that will fit it if needed as well.

Interesting. Don't know anything about them though. I thought you were calling me to the table!

At a distance, the wood and joinery alone look to be worth more than $50.

a very nice buy for the price, Shannon drove down to pick it up for me, dovetailed and doweled cabinet, cane grille, the speaker is a CTS Brown basket model with a huge square magnet, and if I have the ser# right would be from 73-74.. the amp works fine, no hum, and has a small reverb tank, seems to have lots of power, but didn't push it too hard till I have Lars check it out... the distortion is very fuzzy, and all in all it has grungy garage band tone... like I said before I might just bypass the amp and use it as an extension speaker, but will fiddle around with it for a while first.
