Old amp

[ronchase]

Here is a amp my friend gave me yesterday. I googled it but can't find a thing about it., any one ever see or here of Encore amp? I'm guessing late 50s early 60s I would love to what they looked like when new as I want to match some cloth to the missing grille cloth.The speaker is also wrong it is a 6x9 maybe out of a car

6x9 might be correct - have to check the speaker frame codes - some old valco and such used 6x9's as I recall. tele's link gives you a good idea on cloth style. Send more pics - cool find.

Code says Cleveland speaker I think.

You guys are the best

Oh 6x9 may very well be correct but he said the speaker was replaced, I also noted a tear on the speaker but plugged it in and it does play, it is my intention to maybe get a high end 8 inch speaker and a retro looking grill but if I can actually see what it looked like I might be able to get it looking near correct so I will post pictures when I can

What are the tubes? Does it have a power transformer? There could be safety issues involved.
