ID this amp please

[BamaBilly]

Looking for help on identifying the amp in the picture. I realize it says Bozak Orlen but I can’t seem to find any info using that nomenclature. I’m starting to think it’s a custom build but any info is greatly appreciated.

I think someone bought the Bozak name a few years ago. I've seen other things with that branding. Pretty sure it has nothing to do with the old Bozak speaker company. Something about those sockets makes me think Chinese though.

Thanks for the reply. I’m pretty clueless but I would think if it was a new Chinese knock-off I would be able to find one when I do a search but I get zero when I search Bozak Orlen

I think it's a clever homebrew or custom amp. Looks like an SE GM70 with an older double-triode driver. Is there only one? Can you take pics of the internals?

Taken from an estate sale photo, no chance at seeing the inside before next Friday. I’m pretty sure there’s only one of them.

Oh, well, it looks pretty well-made. Are you looking for just a mono amp?

No not at all. I’m just kind of clueless on vintage tube amps like these and this was the only piece of gear in the photos that I couldn’t ID.

Ah, okay.

 

[BamaBilly]

Ah, okay.

I just went back and looked, in the photo it’s sitting on a Klipsch Cornwall speaker so maybe they’ll be a second one on the other speaker.

 

[BamaBilly]

Ah, okay.

I just got some updated photos and there are two, one in each Cornwall.

It's not a Bozak amp. Someone put a Bozak badge on it. The Bozak name was purchased and is used by a UK company that is making DJ Mixers based on original Bozak designs.

I too can't find anything on the Orien Amp label. There is a boutique guitar amp builder named Orion. Maybe it is possible that someone was using a knock-off label there as well (obviously I have no idea). Perhaps it is a kit or DIY amp. it looks nice...

Given the end grain on the front baffle of the speaker it is sitting on, it may also be a DIY Cornwall.

Worth checking out for sure.

I'd jump on it. With no online reference they may be priced cheaply.

The power tube has a top cap. Might be an 813.

You're right, it's probably an 813. My GM70 guess was wrong, no plate cap.
