Old tube amp info?

Anatoly,

I'm going to make some guesses about the tube complement. Those look like grid cap connections to me. My thinking is 6J7s in those sockets. I'm guessing a 5Z3 rectifier in the UX4 socket. Perhaps original, metal envelope, 6L6s for the O/P pair. A 6J5 or early 6SN7 in the remaining socket?

This valve lineup looks a lot like a Cinemeccanica Cinema amp I have. That one had a separate 6V6 Single Ended for driving the High Freq Speaker.
 
You'll need to determine the OT turns ratio's and then deduce the most likely impedance levels of the windings, unless their identified on the connectors on the side - that may sway your options.

Is the insulated wire very brittle? The PT wires look like they'll need some insulation TLC - you'll probably end up removing the PT to check the internal connections and condition. Ditto with the OT.

You'll get lots of different advise on what to end up with and how to get there, but I suggest you don't rush, and try and act the detective on all the parts and the history of the amp - that can be very rewarding.
