Still cleaning up the amp and checking for functionality – owner said that the amp does power on but didn’t get into details about output quality. Great set – will upload measurements in a bit. The 6bq5s appear to be made In Japan with the exception of one made in Germany. I have no idea what the tag means by run number one. I highly doubt this is from the first crop off the production line but I suppose it could be?

Audio Guild Corp (Magnatone) Vintage Tube Amp Amplifier, 1970 Imperial. For most of the years since it has been idle at my parents home. Obviously, the desired guitar career didnt pan out. The condition is used and operational. I can provide additional pictures as needed. The black vinyl covering has been worn off or curled in some areas, mostly the corners. There is surface rust on some parts including the jacks and the handle brackets. The electrical power cord appears to be original and is twisted and melted in some areas. I assume the melting was due to contact with the hot tubes before I owned it. The interior circuitry portion of the amp has not been disassembled for inspection. The Imperial model nameplate is missing. The amp has a clean Dick Dale surfer sound when vibrato and reverb are used. Technical: Online sources suggest the amp is an Audio Guild Corp Imperial Model.
