Lee, that post of yours wasn’t fair:
a) I never saw that auction
b) I have now spontaneously soiled my underwear (from laughing)
myfoot, that’s a weird piece. Interesting, but well into my guessing zone. Two things for sure; I’ll bet my bottom it’s neither Laney nor Marshall. Something dressed up as Marshall a long time ago.
The wood carcass, carry handles, rexine, fascia and modern rocker on/off suggest late 70s at the earliest. The chassis seems to be much earlier (those output impedances suggest pre-1970). It’s like a pick ‘n’ mix done by somebody who might have known what they were doing. The obvious thing is that (of the EL34 sockets), 1+4 are OK and 2+3 has, respectively, a blown-vaccuum-tube and an empty socket.
It looks like 3 and maybe 4 ECC83s handling the new-fascia preamp and here comes the bit where I’m really guessing; especially without the underside pornshot. A pair of GZ34 rectifiers (?), a single PT and either an OPT plus an oversized choke or, more likely and as you suggest, a pair of OPTs (a bunch of resistors underneath the chassis doing the choke). Not a Drake or Partridge in my eyes. I can’t be sure, but I wonder if it’s a dual monoblock, 2x50W or 2x30W, fed by EL34s, married to a deliberately Marshallesque preamp at some point.
Worth a speculative punt and worth asking for undieshots from the seller while time permits. I won’t bid against you. Not because of G-site brotherhood, but because my account limit has been exceeded so badly I’m now getting those “would you like a loan?” junkmails 😆
