    THIS IS A EL-BEE FIVE FIFTY TUBE AMP. I CAN'T FIND ANY INFO ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS THE TUBES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT 12AU6,12AX7,50C5,50C5. ALL TUBES ARE RCA
    THIS AMP HAS TWO INPUTS,VOLUME,TONE,F.S. INPUT, TREM. DEPTH, SPEED,ON LIGHT,ON/OFF SWITCH. AMP & CAB ARE VERY LIGHT WEIGHT. AMP SOUNDS LIKE A 50'S GIBSON GA-5 TO ME. THE TREM. IS THICK DARK HEAVY LOT OF LOW END.ANYONE HAVE INFO OR OWN ONE PLEASE POST THANKS. I THINK IT WAS MADE FOR ELDER BEERMENS STORES. I HEARD THEY TRIED TO SELL AMPS FOR ONE YEAR IN 1967. Someone said they seen a pic in a old mail order elder beermen catalog. Have you seen one? Thank you for looking.

      i used to love making amps when i was around 15. now i can afford to i cant buy the parts as many of them arent procurable, very sad. spose i could buy them made and disassemble the and rebuild. not the same but. maybe in my next life.
