I'm a big Valco amp fan. I keep a little National branded amp in my office that is similar to this Gretsch - same speakers and a similar circuit. These amps aren't powerhouses, but they do have a cool tone, and they look so cool.
This amp was serviced somewhat recently by Don Butler and came to us in better-than-excellent operating and cosmetic condition. The amp works with no issues and the tremolo sounds good. It is loaded with a nice compliment of mostly US made, vintage tubes.
We make sure to check our amps out completely, and when we did we found that there are a couple spots on each speaker that have small glue spots - repairs of worn spots on the cones. There is no noticing this when you hear the amp.
