amp ID? what could it be...

I have just recently purchased an amp from a friend, he told me it was an old 70s era lab bass head, but I'm not so sure, he said its around 120 Watts, all tube, 2 channels with four inputs, 2 band eq with two more extended range knobs on the front, then on the back it has a ground and what is shown as A.C. On and off switch, an accessory plug, a circuit breaker, and two speaker out puts, I have no idea what ohm loads it can handle other than eight, i've included some pics to help, good luck

If you look on the upper right of the rear shot . . . It has a name . . . YBA-1



It's a Yorkville YBA-1 'Bass Master'.

1967 Traynor yba-1 bassmaster

http://www.yorkville.com/products.as...46&id=293#yba1

EDIT: Silly me, Yorkville is a line made by Traynor IIRC. . . hmmm http://www.yorkville.com/products.asp?type=71&cat=46
maybe not.
