The 5F6 circuit was designed in '56(F) and produced in '57. The 5F6A, which is the circuit for the '59 came on production in 1958. These two years...'58 and '59...are considered to be one of the prime rock guitar amps.
5F6A was also produced in '60.

Like yours, mine was in sad shape. Best $150 I ever spent
