This appears to be a very cool piece of electrical testing equipment or diagnostic equipment of some kind. Im not actually sure what it is or what its purpose is. It appears as if it could be some sort of experimental oscilloscope, early television, early amplifier, or some sort of other piece of testing equipment. The whole thing is 3 separate units on a rack that connect in the back. If you have any insight into what it is or what its purpose may be Id love to learn more about it. The metal for the chassis of each piece has a very nice swirl design so some rela craftsmanship went into building this.

This is an early 50s Premier made Marvel vintage guitar amp combo. In the 3-5W range, similar to the Fender 5C1 Champ. I think these were the budget student line of Premier amps. Plug and play ready! Amp has been completely restored with a few mods. Here’s what was done. All components have been replaced. New cap can, blue Sozo caps and carbon comp resistors. The input jacks were very cheap, so I put in new Switchcrafts in a Fender hi/lo design. The 6 alnico speaker has been reconed. I made a new baltic birch speaker baffle. I also installed a 4 ohm speaker out jack if you want to use external speaker and put a Switchcraft plug on the stock speaker. There was no fuse in this amp, so I put a vintage style one on the front where the power cord originally went and moved the new 3 prong power cord to the back of the chassis. The leather handle has also been replaced. All vintage tube lineup is RCA 6SL7GT, CBS 6V6GT and Sylvania 5Y3GT.
Works and sounds great! Valco made and serviced with only a few filter caps changed. Original speaker reconed as well. Little light stain on bottoms left of grill cloth. Barely noticeable (see pics).
This is a really fantastic and even rarer vintage tube amp. Unit appears to be complete and original. Speaker inside does appear to have a repair as shown in one photo. Contains all tubes which appear to be original as well. Unit does power up and produces sound. Gets a little squawky when sensitivity knob is turned. Is older piece and we believe in a hard to find size. Most likely will need a good thorough cleaning and once over by technician or Musician. Cabinet does show blemishes and where to tiles as shown. We believe these beauties are getting harder and harder to find and believe this might be the upgrade to the model 15a that looks similar. Great old piece for any musician, restoration or collector!
