Help needed to Identify OAHU amplifier

Lefty · From: Grayson, Ga.

Mine has a OAHU badge on it, but I have seen them with SUPRO as well. I know it was manufactured by Valco in the late 40's. I want to replace the transformer and speaker. This was my first amp, and I smoked the transformer long ago. These picture are not mine, but mine is the same unit.
thanks,
Lefty

Transformers for your Oahu (a Model "P", I think) are readily available, and you can expect to pay between $50 and $100 for the parts, and close to the same for labor to replace them, along with the filter caps.

There's a guy in California who is getting custom reproduction transformers made for these Valco-family amps and he's making some great looking cabinets as well. Check out www.vintage47amps.com . I have no affiliation, just looked at his site a few times. I may look in to building one at some point.
