Need Help Identifying a Make/Model of a tube amp

All good info, but does any of this tie us back to identifying what this unit is and ultimately finding if there is a schematic for it?

Nope. You need to dig for more specific information about where that amp came from. Or you'll need to draw a schematic of the layout. :idea:

All we can do is guess at the photos.

:thumbsup:
 
Drawing out a schematic from what I see if not the problem. The real problem is that there are some parts in this unit i cant identify such as that paper covered capacitor I had originally pointed out. Someone had already been in this unit and swapped out some parts so I don't want to assume what they put in here is actually the right equivalent. Maybe it was wishful thinking but I was hoping someone could actually recognize it based on the photo's. Everything points to it being a Magnavox unit but nothing I found in Magnavox catalogs matches up. I really don't like doing this, but I am considering not doing a restore on these due to the lack of info and/or risk that it could represent.
 
Maybe try working with ChatGPT or Gemini? I rarely use a simple Google search anymore. Those AI options pull much more relevant search results to filter through than pages and pages of Google search results
 
That was actually my first go to before i posted here. I used ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini....all three pretty much told me the same thing. No matches to anything on record....and to post on AudioKarma....lol. Even the AI gave up.
 
Give it some time, put it on the back burner. Someone who's seen those before may chime in someday.

Okay, I would draw out a schematic. Don't enter numbers for components you can't read. Try taking a JPEG of the schematic and using Google Lens or another AI photo app to see if you can find a similar schematic on the Net.

Post your schematic and see if anyone here recognizes the layout. Hi-Fi, organ, PA, and jukebox amps from the 1950s and 1960s usually followed similar layouts, depending on the tubes used.

That's about the best you can do without knowing the specific unit the amp came from.
