Hello gentleman, first post here.
It was this short thread, that amplifier that drew me to this board.
I own one of these amps. I do believe it to be quite rare.
It only took me about 5 years to find it, and I was on a specific mission to find THIS amp.
I have only seen two others, one with the Panoramic name, the other with a Magnatone name, all of which I believe to be identical. The Audio Guild version, I do believe preceeds all other models.
I realize there is virtually no information anywhere about these amps, there isnt even a mention of Audio Guild in Aspen Pittmann's "Tube Amp Book".
My amp, 100% original (tubes replaced in 2006), has two Utah Speakers (12" in the sealed enclosure, 10" in the open portion)
with Speaker codes dating in 1962.
I know nothing about the company Audio Guild, as they seem to have vanished off the face of the earth.
I have emailed 100's vintage amp collectors and dealers, never have I found someone who knows a thing about Audio Guild or these amps.
Here are a few pics of my amp:
Its in some rough shape as it is. The sound, though, It is truley unique and remarkable. Its no wonder why I searched for one of these for 5 years. If I ever stumble across another one for sale, no doubt, I would not hesitate to buy it.
