I used the microphone port on this and it worked. It may need something replaced but it does work. I have not cleaned it at all. A good detailing would really make this nice.

Classic Danelectro-built single-ended 6V6 tube amp. 5 watts, 8-inch speaker, volume, tone, two inputs. Clean and original – tubes glow, no major rust or damage, power cord included. Sounds great with that warm, gritty tube tone. Perfect for blues, rock, or as a killer low-volume practice amp.

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.

Does power on and appears the tubes all light up, i have not plugged anything into the inputs, is missing some knobs and handle…. But overall nice looking amp.

When turned on the back light does indeed light up (see last picture). I don’t have anything to connect to it nor do I know anything about the piece. Original back piece, missing all The screws, but two. Please note darker area on left side of piece. Please let me know if you have any questions.
