On top is a spring reverb unit made by Lafayette. "Echo-Verb II" it's called. I want to say it was made around 1968. Has 2 inputs for microphone, two for instruments, footswitch jack, volume knobs for each input, and a control knob for how much reverb. The amplifier has 3 inputs for instruments, and one for microphone. Obviously, the microphone jack has a bit more distortion-like growl to it.   Robert Fronckowiak (Rob) Senior Member Username: Rob Post Number: 396 Registered: 07-2003 Posted From: 24.49.197.241 Posted on Monday, May 30, 2005 - 05:13 pm:    BTW, I once datecoded the pots on the Premier amp to the 34th and 39th week of 1954.   paul wilczynski (Jingle_jangle) Senior Member Username: Jingle_jangle Post Number: 2266 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 67.180.37.56 Posted on Monday, May 30, 2005 - 07:42 pm:    A most interesting vintage rig, Bob! I'll bet it's got that old baked dust smell when you crank it up, too!   Robert Fronckowiak (Rob) Senior Member Username: Rob Post Number: 399 Registered: 07-2003 Posted From: 24.49.197.241 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 01:35 pm:    Yes it does have that baked dust smell. Not too much anymore since I'm using it more often.   paul wilczynski (Jingle_jangle) Senior Member Username: Jingle_jangle Post Number: 2275 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 63.193.9.8 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 03:25 pm:    My first band back in '64, used an old PA amp from the 40s. We all smelled lke that after our first few practices...   Robert Fronckowiak (Rob) Senior Member Username: Rob Post Number: 400 Registered: 07-2003 Posted From: 24.49.197.241 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 04:06 pm:    What happened to it?

Lots of power, lots of brown. Gray wrinkle louvered cabinet the size and proportions of a country mailbox! And it got HOT.   Peter McCormack (Admin) Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 3721 Registered: 04-2003 Posted From: 142.166.105.220 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 05:05 pm:    Did it have a dog and an old gramaphone stenciled on it Paul?   Robert Fronckowiak (Rob) Senior Member Username: Rob Post Number: 402 Registered: 07-2003 Posted From: 24.49.197.241 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 06:17 pm:    RCA?   Howard Bishop (Ozover50) Senior Member Username: Ozover50 Post Number: 1004 Registered: 01-2005 Posted From: 203.220.15.241 Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 07:55 pm:    HMV?
