Carlsbro amps are pretty much unknown here in the United States - they are a British company that was never really distributed here as far as I know (like Burns and Selmer). Their most popular amps are the Top 50 and Top 100 - both all tube Heads similar in many ways to a Marshall Plexi.
This 50 watt Combo looks like the same basic circuit as the Top 50. It has a pair of original British made Celestion Vintage 30's - that alone is worth the asking price - then consider that this is a hand-wired vintage EL34 combo. Wow!
Ah yeah - if those are the original tubes they would all be Mullards - that's what Carlsbro used in all thier amps.
So if you need an amp, you might want to consider this one.
