Greetings all..I'd been searching through this site and the registry to find info on this .. what I believe to be .. Rick amp. It came with a Model 59 Rick lap steel from '37. By the appearance of the internals, this seems to be a Model 59 amp, but I've not seen one with this case: wood covered with a herringbone vinyl-type material. The transformer is an INCA brand from LA, speaker is stamped 7808, the magnet/coil is stamped both F234 and M198X (this M number is found on a few in the registry). The tubes appear to be original, but the amp makes a loud hum when plugged in, so I'm not sure if they all function.
I figure the guitar is a '37 so I'm thinking this amp is, too, but I've not seen photos on the web of this incarnation. Any catalog info? Any input from the forum? ..thanks, Tom
