Dont know if it means anything, but the tag board in there looks very like the one in a Selmer amp I have - big eyelets rather than turrets.
It does have that look / feel of a 60s-built UK amp.

Just had a little look around.
It looks a lot like a Selmer Treble & Bass 100W Reverb; someone has removed the trim and re-worked the amp's faceplate.
The attached picture is of a 50W (2 x EL34); so I'm guessing that the 100W would be wider.

I recognize even a German WIMA foil capacitor (the yellow one that's connected to the right hand end of that long brown wire running along the big turret board). But I'm quite sure this doesn't help either.
Best regards!

I think you might be correct. Have had a real good look at it and it does appear the face plate has been re-worked. Looks like it has been modified somewhat from the original amp. The transformers have new mounting holes and the reverb control seems to have been added and the dots hand painted. The large 100uf 350v caps are military NSN 5910-99-012-4918
I could only find one Hunts cap which had BD612 MP on it. Agree Hunts caps are usually bad.........that is certainly my experience with early televisions.
The vintagehofner site has the best collation of Selmer amps/etc (and even has my Selmer organ). The gallery link below confirms the chassis is from Selmer, and 95% is the same - so it would be interesting to detail all the differences and surmise why it is now different.

BTW what were your plans for the amp?

There is a Kelly 100 MKII on the link that appears to have the same transformers as mine; two open and one enclosed so maybe it is pretty original.
Whoo-hoo that has nicely narrowed it down! Maybe there is a Kelly gang of enthusiasts that Steve Russell (website operator) can help you to explore further.
