Here I have a vintage Gibson amplifier nicknamed the Les Paul Jr. I believe this was Gibson's first iteration of the GA-5. This amp has been nicely restored. The cabinet was recovered and the original handle was redone. A back panel was made using a Napa Valley wine box. Also, a brand new Hammond power transformer was fitted. This amp now works at full power with very little hum. It is extremely quiet! Other than the metal can capacitor only one resistor inside the amp was replaced. It also now boasts a three-prong cord. The original Rola speaker dates to 1956. This co-aligns with the volume pot code. All tubes are vintage RCA and are rated NOS > 90%+. This thing should have the functionality of a modern amp but still retain that vintage tone.
