Thanks. It's a clean solid amp. Unfortunately, I made the bad decision to have it modified almost 20 years ago. That's why there are two nickel hole plugs on the back. I had EL-34s, cascading gain, channel switching, effects loops, master volumes, etc... installed.

Luckily, the original Jensen speakers, trannies and most other parts were not modified or lost and no holes were drilled in the cabinet or the face of the chassis. The two plugged holes were drilled in the back of the chassis and a hole for another pre-amp tube was drilled in the bottom of the chassis.

It might've been called "near mint" before all that! Fortunately, it's a keeper!!!

A local tech and I have since returned the amp to stock condition and it sounds great!
