Not much to say about this amp except it was a thing of beauty. I bought it dead off a table at the Dallas Guitar Expo, got it home and got it working. Had a bad power cable and it wasn't hooked up to the power switch! Power!
After that changed all caps as they were all dead. Really pretty sounding amp delicate. Not your little rage box, more mature. Perfect for clear slide.
Amp had a little water damage and the cabinet needed gluing. When all said and done, these are very cool rare amps. It's now living with a serious collector in New York.
Beautiful Rola field coil speaker:
Of course, Western Electric patented circuit!

Is the Oahu cut over the speaker brass or wood? How does it not vibrate when played through?
ReplyDeleteAnyway it's very pretty
Wood, or some kind of pressed fiberboard. Didn't notice any vibration. Yeah, it's a classy little amp!
ReplyDeleteI picked one up years ago for $25, brought it back to life and later resold it for $450!
