Is what it is. We used to see these all the time in the pawn shops back in the late 80′s early 90′s and as guitar players we loved the fact that you could get them cheap. This one has the original 15 speaker which… Man has to be pushing 60 years old. The head comes out and must have a speaker cable (I think this is a mod from the original). All i know is that if you want a Nirvana sound… If you want loud tube crunch this can’t be beat.
