This is a Rickenbacher lap steel and amplifier set. It's a beautiful chrome body guitar in mint condition. My research leads me to believe it is a 1939 or 1940 model. The guitar electronics are in good working order and sound great! It features a volume and tone control. Tuner are original, I believe, and in great condition. The guitar comes with a hard shell case covered with the same aged tweed as the amp! The amp features a 12" Lansing speaker, three inputs, and two volume controls (one for the two "instrument" channels, and one for the "Mike" channel. It also has one tone control. All controls are rear-mounted. The tubes are: 5V4 rectifier, two 6L6 power tubes, two GC5, and a GN7. The amp has been serviced with new capacitors, a new handle, new pots, and a new grounded power chord. This this is a very nice sounding amp. The Mike channel seems to be a little hotter than the other two. If you crank the volume you get a nice growl, and good volume. This is such a nice set, it's hard to imagine finding one this age in better condition. The amp upgrades were done with good quality US made caps. More pics to follow... Maybe even right side up! $2100
