It is a kinda 6G2 Brownface/ Princeton Reverb Hybrid. It is a Marsh Buffalo reverb. First time inside and it needs some fixing. I am going to rip out the master volume circuit, and replace the ginormous Sprauge caps with some mojotone dijon caps that aren't "sky-ed". I may end up redoing master if I don't like the result. Just replaced the 6V6's after one blew. Then I had intermittent volume drop out. Seems ok now but new caps on the way. Wish me luck!! Certainly not an expert here!!

Hell, I figure if Ragamuffin can do it, anybody can!

Well, I ended up pulling the master and replaced it with a Vox style hi cut control. Tracked down the intermittent culprit to the volume pot, and replaced that too. Now working again!
