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 Paul

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 https://www.youtube.com/user/vintage47amps/videos |
