These things cost $129.50 in 1956 and were not cheaply made at all. I just finished recapping an amp from one and the amp and the dual 6x9 oval bass drivers and five inch mid range sound fantastic. 1956 tubes work as good as new.

Filter caps dry out and short and if you plug the amp in the transformer will catch on fire. Now, as to why they didn't put in a fuse, you got me.
