Vintage Tube Amp

Here we have an unbranded 1×10 tube vintage guitar amplifier! This combo amp looks to be from the late 1950s. It is in good physical condition and good functioning order. It has seen service over the years and has a modern 3 prong power cable installed. It sounds really good and is quite loud with nice compression and a papery tone.
