well, I got curious after a few weeks of just looking at this amp and decided to check all my voltages and they were all within spec. So I went after it with a chopstick and found a bad connection on one of the pre-amp tubes(thank you marcoloco!). The clean tone is pretty sweet and sure enough, it breaks up around 7 or 8. The seller also gave me the original tubes and they seem to work just fine. I'm not sure what to do with this amp. It sure does sound cool though!

If you are planning on parting with it, what are you looking for...perhaps a trade???

Yeah, I would consider a trade. I have to quit playing through it because I'm really starting to like it. I'm not a collector and I think the best thing to do is leave it the way it is and let the next owner decide what to do with it. some of the tweed needs to be glued back down on one side and it shows some scuffs, but not bad. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.
