Magnatone 1951 Deluxe M-195-5-J Amp & Lap Steel Set Pearl Burgundy MOTS, Excellent

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

Magna Electronics built steel guitars and amps in Los Angeles from the late 1930s, and the M-195-5-J Deluxe tops that early lineup with about 12 watts from two 6V6s into a 10" speaker.  Amp and lap steel wear matching swirled Pearl Burgundy pearloid, known as "Mother of Toilet Seat."

Both are in excellent original condition.  The amp has two caps replaced; the lap steel has non-original tuners and a replacement Geib case.
