I just bought this amp on Ebay.
I was looking for a 5 watt amp and found this one.
Looks like it is in good shape and was told it works great.
Not sure about tremlo because no foot switch. It is
a 2 tube amp 6V6 and 5Y3.
Looks like this is a 1973 Embassy with 12 watts rms and 36 peak with 10" speaker.
What can anybody tell me about this amp.

Got mine for $40 at a Music-Go-Round.
Put a Weber Ceramic 10 in it and it goes from a purr to a ROAR!

Here is a good article on Alamo amps: http://www.vintageguitar.com/features/brands/details.asp?AID=1103

I got a used one exactly like Jahmbie's for Christmas in 1987, and played it constantly for a decade before loaning it. I haven't seen it since.
