Tube amps can kill. 😱 The high voltages required are deadly; start slowly and read the stickies first, that way you will have plenty of time to decide how to proceed with your amp.
To answer the questions, it is a stereo push pull power amplifier that does not have its own volume control. It was intended for use as part of a larger system, probably a console stereo. The volume and tone controls were part of the matching tuner. It can be used stand alone with the addition of a volume control. It is probably 15 to 30 watts per channel.
This unit used a selenium rectifier in the bias circuit which can release a toxic stink when they fail, which is likely. The capacitors probably need to be replaced too. If this all sounds unknown to you, get the assistance of someone who understands. Just plugging it in will probably blow up some parts.
