It almost looks like one of those Guldan amps to me. Also very similar to the Silvertone 1301.

| The finish is very similar to the Epitome lap steels of that era and they frequently came as a matched set. |

Doug has a great video showing he picked one of these amps up and restored it. He also mentioned this forum post with no replies at that time.

It looks a lot like my Silvertone "Champ." I believe it was made by Valco (Supro, National...). Mine is a '52 and it took me years to finally ID it as it has no brand markings anywhere. I found a picture on the interwebs and tracked down a catalog reprint.
Bruce Collins at Mission Amps in Denver rebuilt it for me. It screams with a lap steel. |
