Those are 6973 power tubes (which used to be pricey to replace but EH now makes them new) I checked the archives and it is indeed a Univox U202R from about 1967. Here is what they Univox site says:<br /><br />U202R - probably built around 1967. It's a combo amp with a single 12" speaker, described as a "soft 50-watt amp" (i.e. 20W). Channel #1 has controls for volume, tone, reverb depth, tremelo speed and tremelo intensity. Channel #2 has only volume and tone. However, both channels can be patched together. There are two inputs for each channel: bright and normal. Japanese copy of a late 50's Magnatone. Sides of amp are blue, with a gold plate across the top with a logo and yellow/gold grille cloth. The blue may be an after-market addition, the amp was also available in black. The U202R is an all-tube amp. The tube lineup is as follows: 12AX7 (3), 6AN8, 6AV6 (or two 12AX7's), 6973 (2), 6CA4.Jim Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369741393336008645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906814047068760205.post-76306162991685076742011-02-25T07:45:39.874-08:002011-02-25T07:45:39.874-08:00I would almost swear on a stack of bibles that thi...I would almost swear on a stack of bibles that this amp is not a Supro but a Hilgen, a little-known amp company from New Jersey in the mid-60's... whose circuit designs bore a suspicious resemblance to those belonging to Ampeg.Michael Ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250488672041916259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906814047068760205.post-25573400880532660672011-02-24T19:35:32.045-08:002011-02-24T19:35:32.045-08:00Thought the readers might be interested in this on...Thought the readers might be interested in this one:<br />http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/msg/2233011162.html<br />any idea what model it is?In-TVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388045134705922347noreply@blogger.com
