So, I obviously typed the wrong number... The Tube Chart say\'s \"5D8-A\", but this is clearly a Narrow Panel Tweed Twin Amp, Model 5E8, from early 1955. It has the \"Presence\" knob added, which makes it a 5E8. The tube chart is faded, but you can\'t make out the serial number on the tube chart, but can make out a \"0\" the \"9\" in the serial number stamped on the chassis, 0079. The stamp \"EC\" is faded too, but you can make it out in the right light (Hard to photograph) right above the \"110 volts and right next to the \"Twin Amp\". New pictures added.Please do not check out using Postage ( I didn\'t add this?) please contact me and I will figure shipping at end when packaged. I will only charge what it actually costs to ship and pack. Please ask any and all questions regarding this amp. Thanks!
