One of those shockomatic amps. Probably needs servicing, transformerless -plugs straight into the wall. Extremely dangerous without an isolation transformer.

I have two of these waiting for refurb on the bench.

Should have 2@12ax7, 1@6sn7 for tremelo, 2@50L6gt powertubes and 1@35z5 rectifier tube. This is a tiny, tiny amp. You can't sub in a standard 12" speaker, the cabinet is too shallow. Gutshots, please!!!!!

It's a 12" RCA alright, but it is extremely shallow. You can't sub in an off-the-shelf Weber or anything else.

Pretty sure it is currently in a non-functional state. If nothing else it will look awesome on display in my music room or atop of the piano in our family room.

It arrived safe and sound. Cool little amp, its way better than I thought it would be. I already dropped it off for a full checkup and a 3 pronged chord to be installed. Once I get it back I will take some gut shots.

If it doesn't have an isolation transformer installed, it will be extremely dangerous if plugged into a wallsocket with the polarity reversed. The chassis will then have 120 volts on the control panel. However, the two I have and most of the others I have seen are modified in an attempt to make it into a Deluxe.

Then it needs an isolation transformer unless you want to depend on the circuitbreaker at the box to protect you.
