Matching light grey transformers, would be cool if it's 300 watts!

How many output tubes, 4? 4 EL34s with iron this size I'd guess around 100 watts. Whose transformers? Mercury?
4 output tubes, not sure what they are supposed to be as they were missing when I bought it, also unsure on the transformers, amp is at repair shop at the moment.

NP. I can't find the reference now, but ISTR they used all EL34 power tubes after awhile. I'm guessing Mercury transformers because of the wrap around end bells. Let us know how it sounds when it's back from the shop.
Heard from the tech today who has my amp, he thinks it needs KT88 tubes and also told me that it looks to be capable of 200-300 watts! Waiting for new caps to arrive, should be up and running soon.

I have a 100 watt TNT bass amp, and it uses EL34s. When I picked it up from Frank he had the head turne on and it was 110 watts rms. Now it's 45 years later and it still test right around 110 watts!
Welcome!
You wouldn't believe the number of new posters who bump some old thread with useless drivel.
What sort of gigs does it do?
What is the case size ? I have a chassis only and need exact measurements to make a one
I have an early prototype TNT head.
The circuit is pretty much a Fender Showman.
I can take some measurements if you want to make a copy of this "Frank Coolie Fender-copy".

Hey Steven,
I can measure my TNT and send the results.
This amp has not been played since a re-tube and tune-up in the early 2000's.
