I've never seen any of these before. They look interesting. Strange looking driver tube.

Those look like fun. Fortunately I don't need any more amps (I've got more than I can handle now). Good to see another Tucsonian on here.

They are built very solidly, I had one for a hot second years ago.

Circa early 50's

I think that's a new production 6SN7, variant

Wow, those are very nice, early triode Williamsons. I wonder how throughly they've been restored. Depending on the condition of the internal parts, they should make a beautiful 12wpc.

Yes, it would be nice to know some history, and have a look under the deck. But I have too many amps a it is.
