Well, it is now at my office. Had a brief chance to mess around with it. Has a very nice sound. It is brown tolex, with a darker brown/burgandy speaker cloth. It's speakers are Eminence from 1967 (now it appears that the 67 is the code for Eminence, and that the speakers may be from 1969), it has a Mercury output transformer, and the power filter caps have been changed to Sprague, and Mallory 150 for the tone caps. I will spend some time going through it with my guitar instructor/gear specialist Chip, who helped me go through my Martin, to make sure it is in good order all the way through, but it appears and sounds like a good functioning unit. It has a foot switch for the vibrato, which sounds very cool. Kind of a SRV Lenny/Riviera Paradise sound.
I may very well sell this at some point, as I am receiving it as part payment for a bill, but it will be fun to explore for a while.
It looks like the one in the first picture in this thread.
