I don't recognize it, but it looks more like an organ or theatre amplifier than a guitar amp. Someone got a reasonable deal for $10 assuming the power transformer is working.

I swear it looks familiar to me, I just cant place it!, though the one I think I'm trying to remember, did not have a input jack, it had a small harness that came out of the same location, as the jack that's been installed there.

I bought it, figured some one would toss a bid on it, hope like heck it has a CT h.v. rail, as that's what I want it for.

The 12ax7 that comes with it, was worth what I paid, minus the shipping charge

I like these old organ amps for the transformers, as mentioned. I bought about 5 for around $10 + shipping and have used/will use them for power supplies. They are usually pretty heavy and have a lot of current capacity. Good luck,

Power transformers usually have much more then needed for an amp of power capability, and output trannies go down to low organ notes. However, their properties on highs may be not very good.
