Juke box amp question

Hello all,

First time posting here, but I have a 1965 Rowe AMI Diplomat and it looks like I have a aftermarket amp in it. Can anyone identify this? If this isn't the right place to post, let me know and I'll move/delete it. Thanks again.

Kinda looks like it. Its not dirty enough. :D the power transformer looks older than the amp board too. It doesn't look like any of the amp boards I saw on the repair sites with original replacement boards.
 
Looks like an aftermarket amplifier to me. I have friend with old jukebox route. I'll see if he has a Diplomat parts machine (he runs lots of AMI-Rowe machines)
 
1965 I'd guess still may have been tube, if it was solid state I doubt it would be that amp. Looks way too modern and not sufficiently industrial. Usually early commercial solid state amps were built pretty much like tube gear, chunky steel chassis with maybe a circuit board or two mounted to it. Wouldn't be a bare PCB mounted to a hunk of particle board.


@dewdude could probably give you more details. He actually works on these things for a living.
