Old funny looking German Tube Amp (sunburst)

[johnk_10]

I just dug this one out of my storage unit yesterday. it was made in w. germany, and looks more like an old hi-fi than a musical instrument amp, but it was made for an instrument, probably an organ. it uses an EL84 for its power tube and a 6AN8 for the preamp. anyway, i thought that some of you might get a kick out of seeing it.





i haven't truned it on yet as i intend to go thru it before i apply any power to it, just in case it has problems.

That is bitchin. Where are the input(s)/controls?

[johnk_10]

the controls and 1/4" input jack are on one of its sides. they're very simple: volume (on/off is on the control like on a tweed fender champ), & treble and bass.



the speakers are pretty trippy too. a 6x9 oval and a 4" midrange.



and here's a pic of the amp circuit:

Very cool... you must have quite the storage unit!

Looks like something my dad would play his accordian through at the Hofbrauhaus lol

that's kickass. My parents had an old speaker like that - it was much bigger than that though.

They ran their record player through it - I wish they still had it, but sold it at a garage sale many many years ago

"West Germany"? Yeah right! You're probably going to tell me that there was also an "East Germany"!!

Cool little cheap amp!

Probably sounds rather good with guitar.. then again.. it may not!

I know a guy who collects antique electronic stuff. He says that this was for amplifying reel to reel tape decks. The tape deck sat on top.

[johnk_10]

yes, it very well could be considering that its a two-way amp.
