Smile Now that is RETRO!

Very cool amp! Too bad the video of the duo is not showing!

I just bought a 38 Oahu slide with the original amp and case. Wish me luck, as it is enroute....

Ya gotta dig the multiple lights and the aerodynamic style

BOLOTS

Yeah it is pretty cool,

I've added more detail pictures of the inside of the amp to help with questions

it has 6V6 (2) with a 5Y3GT each side of the transformer

In the upper right is a TUNG-SOL 6SF5 GT and a KEN-RAD 6N7

There are also additional youtube video's of the El Capitan with
harmonica, a Big Baby Taylor, and a Gibson 335
