I want to emphasize the "project" part of the title here. I got this amp as part of a set knowing that it wasn't in working order. I've tested it, and all it does is hum loudly. I have not had it checked out, so I can't say what work it needs. I estimate that it dates from 1939, and while someone messed around at some point inside, it may not have been touched for 50 years.

The Model 75 was a 16W amp (schematic here) with a 12" field-coil speaker. It had a single volume control and three identical inputs into one channel. Someone added the knob on the right side; I don't know what it was for, but it's disconnected now. The amp will arrive missing one power tube (I borrowed one from another amp to test, but I need to hang onto it).

My price is $SOLD shipped in the US. Below that, I might as well hang onto it and use it as a door stop. I'm not opposed to trades, but there's really nothing in particular I'm looking for.
