Vintage Tube Amp

Cool looking vintage Marathon vacuum tube Guitar and Instrument Amplifier. See photos for a good look. The cord looks good enough that I went ahead and plugged it in. It powers up, all the tubes light up, no alarming noises during the several minutes I left it On… But the amp sounds pretty sad… Has rattles and some buzzing, mostly from the speaker or cabinet, and maybe loose components I’m guessing. Two of the tubes are metal and two are glass. The control layout is… On/Off switch which is also the Tone control (Bass), the second knob is Tremolo (it works), last knob is Volume, (Loudness). All the controls worked when I tested them. There are three 1/4 inputs. An interesting and perhaps rare amp, it will not however replace your favorite vintage Fender or Marshall, it’s just a cool old practice amp really, more of a curiosity then usable stage amp. I’ve never seen another one like it. Measures about 16″ x 12″ x 6-1/2. The item “Cool Vintage Antique Marathon Vacuum Tube Guitar Amp Instrument Amplifier” is in sale since Wednesday, May 9, 2018.
