Here's a seldom seen amp , this is a Starlet with a wrap around cabinet and a T. V. style framed 71/2" X 10" grill cloth . One off/volume pot should only be clicked on with the following warning : unless this type amp has been modified with an isolation transformer never touch another device that is 120v grounded , play it outside , on a concrete floor , or when you're damp . You could very well shake hands with Mr. Reddi Kilowatt . That said , this is tone to die for ! (1) X 8" speaker breaks up early and often with a serious tube saturation . 2 input jacks on this model , one higher gain than the other , no explanation for this on the standard Starlet schematic . Remember the warning or have these modified , this one came from an estate sale . It had a jumper lead and it looks like the guy had it wired as a D.I. box . I never found out if he was electrocuted , but he was asking for it with this set up !

Simply tube overdriven 35Z5 , 50L5 , with a 12 AX7 pre . Use it wisely !
