Space Age Amp

I don't what brand this is, but it's so retro cool. I want it!

Love the design, very 50s and I haven't seen an amp like this before. Wonder how it sounds!

It looks like something out of a Jetson's cartoon!

Here is THE guitar to go with it: a 1959 Herrnsdorf

It's for sale at $2,995 here: http://www.antiques.com/classified/...URY-MODERN-RETRO--SPACE-AGE--ELECTRIC-GUITAR-

That exact guitar was for sale in the Netherlands some years before (they were wrong with the date however, it's not a 70s one):

Rick Nielsen owns (or owned) another one exactly in that blue as well.

Here is a white one I found pictures. This model in either color is very rare to find.

It was built by Electrosonic Amplifires in Boonville, Indiana. The model is the "Nautilus". Built in June 2006.
You see "Nautilus" written on the front.
It has 15 Watts.
Electrosonic does not exist anymore.





Also as a combo:




A Brazilian company makes similar looking amps today:

Check out John Mergili, he builds cabinets that go from 1930's replica to Jetsons on acid. He can probably build a cab for one of your existing amps

I like the legs!

Thanks Ralf, I knew I knew it, but could not make it from by brain to my fingers!

This is not the same company that made EMC amps, is it?

No, not the same. Electronic Music Corporation (EMC) was in Cleveland, Ohio, afterwards went on to become Audiotronix out of Mentor Ohio, then became BFI (Bull Frog Incorporated). They then became Soundtech out of Elkhart, Indiana.

I'm thinking those couldn't be very loud, unless you like your amp head crashing onto the floor a lot.
