1948? THIS A SMALL AMP LIKE A VERY OLD CHAMPION.
THE AMP HAS 3 INPUTS 1 VOLUME 1 TONE 1 ON OFF TOGGEL SWITCH.
IT IS COVERED IN DARK BLUE CLOTH WITH A SILVER STRIPE DOWN THE CENTER.
THE ROUND OPENING IN THE FRONT FOR THE SPEAKER IS COVERED WITH A FIBERGLASS LIKE MATERIAL. THE AMP HAS A 8"ROLA SPEAKER. IT APPEARS TO
BE ALL ORIGINAL.THE LOGO IS DIECUT METAL IN SCRIPT LETTERS AND SAYS
GRETSCH UNDER THAT IT SAYS ELECTROMATIC. TWO SEPARATE PIECES. THERE ARE 4TUBE SOCKETS ALL ARE THE LARGE BASE LIKE A 6V6. THE ONLY PROBLEM
IS THERE ARE NO TUBE CODES ANYWHERE ON THE AMP OR CHASSIS. I CANNOT FIRE IT UP BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TUBES TO USE! DUH!!!!!!!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.WHAT TUBES DOES THIS THING TAKE? I KNOW JUST BY LOOKING AT THE AMP THAT IT WILL SOUND SWEET AS A TWINKY.
INSIDE EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE AND ALL THERE. PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY INFO YOU CAN.
