Help needed to identify this british made Amp

Why not keep and restore the whole thing as minimally as possible? It's a bit of history and Canada is a big place, surely you've got a little bit of room. I must be of similar vintage, and would most certainly object to having my guts torn out and sold. These things have souls, you know.

I felt really guilty for destroying the cabinet. I had no choice because it is too big and heavy. I will be moving out soon after.
 
For further information I suggest you try the UK Vintage Radio forum. Some people on there are experts at identifying this sort of stuff.

One curious feature I noticed is that it uses beehive trimmers; compression trimmers were far more popular in domestic equipment. Also, the tuner seems to use 'octal sized' IFTs with minature valves. This may help date it.

I already tried there

Need identification for Heathkit radio - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

No further discussions after March 15. I might be in wrong section in the UK forum.
