Anybody into old guitar amps? Know this one?

Picked it up the other day and can't find much info on it, other than it's an Epiphone Elektar and dates from the late 30's or 40's.

Uses 1622 tubes, which apparently can be swapped for 6L6's for more output.

Just curious if anyone knows any more about it.....
 
must be common as i have had a few in for repair in the last year.
treat it like an antique radio and recap it.
 
I have seen them, and love the blond wood Deco styling. How about a shot of the amp? Is the speaker a field coil?
 
oops sorry you already knew that.sometimes i guess i should read between the lines(the whole post).anyways looks like a nice little amp.
