I am mostly a guitar player, so I thought this amp should really get in the hands of a steel player who can appreciate its provenance. This was owned by Idaho Slim and used live and on recordings in the 1940's up until the time he passed away. He played his triple-decker through it to the delight of his audience.
I purchased it through George Gruhn, and had an old tech go through it to replace a few caps. Amazingly the tubes were still in great shape. I have got $700 in it, and would like to get that out of it plus shipping. The speaker could use reconing, but still plays wonderfully with a surprising amount of volume.
