Gibson EH-150 Model Tube Amplifier, c. 1941, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, tweed fabric covering finish.
An extremely clean and fine sounding example of the world's first great guitar amplifier, the EH-150. This is the ca. 1941 variant with a slightly arched cabinet with rounded off upper corners. The gold/brown tweed cabinet cover has orange and black vertical stripes in the center, with a black script Gibson logo in the lower right hand corner. The square lower cabinet edges have leather corners and four round hard rubber feet. Leather luggage handle on top, the front speaker aperture is covered by a black metal grill.
The removable latched back reveals the deco-styled control panel which lays out on/off, fuse, tone control (a new feature at the time!) microphone volume, instruments volume, 1 mic and 2 instrument inputs . The original field coil 12" speaker-is still in fine condition. This was the premier amplifier of its day, as used by Charlie Christian and a host of other 1940's greats, and is still a wonderful low-volume amp today.
Height is 15 1/2 in. (39.4 cm.), 16 in. (40.6 cm.) width, and 9 in. (22.9 cm.) deep. Some replaced capacitors and resistors, new three prong chord. The tweed covering is raised in some places but the cabinet is solid. An absolutely fabulous sounding EH-150. Excellent - Condition.
