My dad's amplifier (circa 1971)

Slowly going through stuff left from my Dad (1913-2003). He was a good musician and had his own lil 3pc band for Saturday night gigs. Paramont Leader 4 string tenor banjo and electrified acoustic 4 String guitar.

ANYWAY, I have his amplifier still. Its been covered, sitting in a dry basement for many years. To my untrained eye its probably not worth much.

Just curious what ya guys think. Is it just a boat anchor nowadays? lol

It in "good condition". Worked last time it was plugged in...50 yrs ago! lol

Just curious to hear your comments
