Ditto on the dating - I had a couple of those 6aq5a models and prefer them to the 6v6 for simple funky quirkiness. Plus those tubes are cheap.

That's a good cabinet too - pine not particle board like the later ones. The speaker sucks and there are a couple of tune-ups you can do to make the circuit more guitar friendly. Check around this Forum.

One thing strikes me though - I've never seen the tailless logo and that orange thread grill cloth on a 6aq5a model. Wonder if swapped in?

Still a cool amp.

And the cab is a perfect fit for a Champ chassis.

Edit to add: I looked again at the grill and in some pics I don't see the orange so could be my monitor. If so likely original.
