The original chassis, pine cabinet, baffle, knobs and potentiometers remain. The handle was changed ages ago.  The cabinet, baffle, and back panels are original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries three original Jensen P10R speakers (code 220, date code 541). Two were freshly reconed.  The power and choke transformers are original Triads, but the output transformer has been replaced with a Mojotone unit.  The output transformers in this model are almost never present.  The original was undersized in the original design, and the speaker impedance worked against it, causing most to fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circuit was serviced.  All the original electrolytic caps were changed. Yellow Astron caps, also prone to failure after all these years, have been updated with high-quality Jupiter replacements.  A nice array of tested, vintage, US made tubes are included: RCA 5U4 rectifier, Phillips 6L6 power tubes, and 12AX7 and Sylvania 12AY7 preamp tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDate: 1956\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWhere Is Date Noted?: serial#, codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 39lbs 12oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDimensions: 22-3\/8\" w x 20-3\/4\" h x 10-3\/8\" d\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWatts: 26 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCase\/Cover?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Material: vinyl, tweed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Color: black, tweed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Original?: no, back panels original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Material: pine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Repairs\/Changes: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Style: wheat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Original?: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Material: pine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Repairs\/Changes: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Material: metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Repairs\/Changes: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eKnobs Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHandle Material: rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHandle Original?: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Transformer Manufacturer: Triad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Transformer Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Manufacturer: Mojotone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Manufacturer Code: mojo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Date Code: 769\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Original?: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChoke Transformer Manufacturer: Triad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChoke Transformer Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eReverb Onboard: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTremolo Or Vibrato Onboard: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eRectifier Tube: 5U4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eRectifier Tube Brand: RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Tubes: 2 x 6L6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Tube Brand: Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePreamp Tubes: 2 x 12AX7, 12AY7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePreamp Tube Brand: ?, Sylvania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePotentiometers Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFilter Caps: replaced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInternal Repairs: caps and resistors updated as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Cable: grounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAccessories Included: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDocumentation: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSmells?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 -
