Title: pre-champ style amps
Post by: Madison on September 07, 2010, 12:47:22 am

Looking for specifically the really old style (1930-40s?) construction where the chassis was below the speaker in the cabinet and controls on rear.
Curious to see a picture of is one that has the pot,input,etc on the front of the amp, aesthetics .
Can anybody give a name or link?
Thanks.
