When I posted earlier in this thread I forgot about this old piece of history!
1955 Wurlitzer. Didn't work when I got it. I took it apart all over my living room floor and got it working again. I took all the tubes out and carefully cleaned them up.
To this day it still works, although it needs a drive belt.
Back in about 1983 or so, I traded a 1972 Austin Mini straight across for this gem.
All tube amplifier in it. When I crank it up, it has a very different sound than todays amps. It is very deep and rich sounding. It's a beauty. All original and unrestored.
