You win. That thing is ug-lee!

I'm with you on that, Bro. Totally sick of looking at it. It was a spur of the moment weekend project for a small portable harp amp when the only other amp I owned was a big 5C3.
A new Squier 15 cabinet would be nice--will have to keep an eye on the roadside pickup action.
The thing is it really sounds great at practice levels--creamy, fat, just a touch of edge. I have a SF champ and have had a couple other 5W amps but the "King Pimp" always rules. I'm a big fan of the 6SL7 in guitar amps--sets the gain just how I like it.
I also used some dubious plastic case paper caps from the 50s in this project--Tiny Chiefs, Tropicaps, sort of thing. Undoubtedly leaky as hell, but that is surely part of the recipe.
I just ordered a tweed Champ cab and plan to rebuild this thing into a decent middle class lifestyle amp...hopefully I will not booger up the tone in the process.
