Re: Which one is this?
If you go to the build pics there's a picture of the rear panel that says it's #0020. It was a 100watt combo that Vintone converted to a head and cab. I don't know what it did to the value of the amp, but it looks awesome.
Re: Which one is this?
The original wasn't in too bad condition and perhaps would have been worth more to a collector, who knows, but it does look much better now.

Re: Which one is this?
Greetings,
That is really a neat color of that refurbished amplifier. It is stated there that refurbisher used suede leather. One wanders how practical is that? Couple of nights on a rock stage, and the amp shall be dirty, ... and one wanders how that particular finish reacts to spilled liquids, various marks and dents? Tough situation for the proud owner.
However, it would be nice to have amplifier covered perhaps in some other type of material than tolex. Yes, tolex is the best (particularly the one used on Marshalls, Fenders, Vox, and such ...), but I wander if there is something like FAUX SUEDE that would look similar in appearance (suede) as this amplifier, and also have that color and such ... ?
Just had a look on ebay to see ¨faux suede¨ that is available there, and really found some interesting colors and what seem to be nice textures ... but I wander if there is a particular brand, a particular manufacturer/material that would produce materials such as this particular Dumble refurbish, but that is not real leather and also has more resistance to liquids, color marks, dents and tear ...
What do you know? Just curious. Once again, this particular refurbished Dumble looks amazing, ... it would be nice to have SIMILAR material, but with better characteristics than the real leather. Faux suede would be the best, ... but which manufacturer, which brand, where to look for it?
Not that I am ready to build a cabinet right now, but it would be nice to have the amp looking that way ...

Re: Which one is this?
Hmmm...
What happened to the tube for the Dumblelator? Rob Livesey's page lists the amp as having a built-in Dumblelator.
I wonder if all those extra switches were added by Dumble or during the Vintone chassis/cabinet mod? It says no modifications to the original circuit were performed, but I've never seen one with the switches laid out like that before...
