Oh, very pretty!

Not being an electronic person, what does the rotary switch do that is marked "4 8 16?

Thank you Paul , That is a impedance selector switch , usually found on guitar amps for the speaker load you are running .

yes , it's pretty much a AC30 tb circuit , very loud with a guitar . At "30 watts" it's on the lower side of wattage for bass but still pumps .

Does the amp have lead weights on the preamp side to balance out ALL :shock: the transformers on the other side of the chassis?

Yeah it's off balance a bit , and no handle but it's not too bad , I need to get some kind of bag or something for it . It weighs in around 30 lbs .
