Vintage 1940's Supro, National, or Valco? Amp & speaker in the Case! Made In USA!This is really cool. You are looking at a 1940's Lap Steel with the Amp built inside the case. Looks like it was made by Valco which is the company that built Supro as well as National. Affordable USA Vintage Lap Steel with Amp & speaker in the case for a Great Price!The lap steel, amp and speaker have been restored. I think it maybe a Valco which built for Supro and National and this one is similar to the Supro 60 Lap Steel Amp-In-Case made pre-war between 1939-1941.Lap Steel: The Pickup has been replaced. The pickup is an aftermarket Gold Foil Pickup similar to a DeArmond. The tuners have been replaced with Kluson tuners that were reliced. The Logo is a reproduction. Other than those 3 items, it is original. The pickup, tuner and logo were missing and replaced.Amp in Case: The case is original. The 6" Field Coil Speaker is original. Power Transformer is original. Pots are all original. The amp itself was missing all the tubes. The wiring in the amp was completely redone. The amp is point to point hand wired by an amp tech. The Amp was recapped (filter, coupling). The speaker was re-coned. There has been a complete top to bottom service on this amp. The tubes have all been replaced with new old stock tubes. (2) 6V6 RCA Power Tubes. (1) 6SN7 Pre amp Tube GE. (1) 6SJ7 Pre Amp Tube GE. (1) 5Z3 Rectifier Tube RCA. Complete restoration. Sounds really good.This is a really cool package. The amp has an awesome vintage tone. 15 watt amp. The Lap Steel is really easy to play. The whole package really works well together. Very Cool. One case with both guitar and amp. If you are after a Tone Monster with Major Mojo and all the Street Cred, this is the One!Cosmetics: Good "Relic" Condition. There are scratches, scuffs, chips, dings and dents on both sides of the Lap Steel. The tweed case is basically the same except there are some stains in the tweed cloth. One latch is missing the hasp. It is the latch on one of the ends of the case. The other 2 latches work just fine and our holding the case solid and tight. Dripping with "Mojo" this Amp In Case has all the right wear marks in the right places for being 70+ years old. Not abused or beat up in any way. It is in used condition, and not perfect. Look at the pictures closely, they will tell the story. You can own a USA Vintage Lap Steel with Amp & speaker in the case at a Great Price!
