Help identifying this Premier amp?
I'm trying to identify this amp that I came across. It has a knob with a "P" that I believe is the Premier logo font. It has 3 tubes, a 6" speaker and has inputs for microphone and instruments and the volume knob is also the on/off switch. Thanks!

It indeed does look like a premier with those type of coupling caps and ceramic resistors as I have 2 of there model B160 from 1966.
The parent company was multivox and they where made in NYC.
That handle on top is not stock.
I have seen these small deadly AC to chassis models use output transformers from Philco radio corp.
If the tubes, filters and speaker is good I bet it sounds darn good cranked out!

I think I've narrowed it down to a Marvel 1950s model. There's no info on the inside for schematics or manufacturing. It's missing the Marvel logo on the faceplate. I found a few other posts on the internet for the same type of amp. Still unable to find a model number. That would be helpful to find a schematic so that I can do some modifications to it. It has the original two pronged power cord. I did get "bit" while I was testing it out when I touched the keyboard on my computer while holding a guitar that was plugged into the amp. Any advice on how to get this set up for safer use?
Thanks,
Thanks,

An isolation transformer -- 120V to 120V with suitable VA specification. Built-in is preferred so no one makes the mistake of forgetting to use it.
