Early 40's Oahu Amplifier, beautiful!

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.

Of course, Western Electric patented circuit!
