Default my first tube amp, no tubes...

I have a Ampeg JET Model J-12 with no tubes just the amp no speaker or box.

Box got destroyed in storage...i want to rebuild it, i know it's old and possibly worth a few bucks.

What kind of tubes does this thing take?

Do they still make tubes for this?

If it takes 5 tubes it's probably not a J-12: you're missing the suffix. Schematics for the J-12 series are here: The Free Information Society - Audio Electronic Circuit Schematics
