{"product_id":"national-tube-amplifier-1946-2680","title":"National Tube Amplifier (1946)","description":"National Tube Amplifier, c. 1946, made in Chicago, tweed fabric covering finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a honking and shouting amp, for sure! A just-postwar National, this was a fairly large and deluxe amp for its day. Two channels, Instrument (with two inputs) and Microphone (with one) and a volume control for each, which do go to 12! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll controls are back-mounted (guitarists sat BEHIND their amps on the 1940's bandstand!) and the face has three staggered length speaker vents lined in fabric and a nifty National metal shield pinned on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe spiffy two tone back plate is marked \"MFD. By N.D.C.\" (National-Dobro Corporation), dating this amp to around or soon after the time the company was re-organised as Valco, retaining the National and Supro brand names as \"A\" and \"B\" level lines. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a great blues guitar or harp amp and a nifty companion piece to period National (or other) electric guitars.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHeight is 19 in. (48.3 cm.), 16 1\/2 in. (41.9 cm.) width, and 8 1\/2 in. (21.6 cm.) deep. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome staining and small rips to the tweed covering but overall very nice condition. Handle is replaced. Original Jensen speaker and tube layout appears stock as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a used but very original 1940's amp. Excellent Condition.","brand":"National","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853171019916,"sku":"2680","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/national-tube-amplifier-1946-2680","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
