Funny, my first amp looked a lot like your middle picture. I stole it from a '50's (I think) vintage record player cabinet [Stromberg Carlson! Finally remembered the brand name], along with the two speakers, and remounted everything in a painted plywood box I made. The box didn't last long, neither did the speakers, so eventually it became a special-purpose naked amp that sat on top of my proper guitar amp and used it's speakers. Sounded good on 10, but pretty mid-rangy. I'm lucky I never electrocuted myself with that thing.
