It would look great in our living room!

Source-date code says late 1960 for the speaker.

Any ideas?

It's another version of the 40T.

I do not have that particular version, and it makes me sad...

Split chassis, 12ab5 power tube, a 12AX7 and a 6201/12AU7 for trem.
Bottom chassis on mine was some kind of army surplus from 1955 or so.
Speaker is probably a 4 ohm Fischer

Would look fabulous in my jam room.

 

[Vermonter]

Gorgeous!!

 

[Bill Ashton]

And...it has proper Guild knobs and fuseholder...

 

[Sal]

I'm baffled by the baffle. Those dimensions don't seem to achieve anything.

Looks like someone thought "horn" loading the aperture would have some advantage. Many of these small amps are made of pretty thin wood. I have a 40T and the cab looks like it was made of 1/8 inch hardboard. It does tend to vibrate a bit especially when the input with the lowered frequency response is selected.
