there is an auction on ebay right now for this.

never heard of one of these.   no difference on the front panel or innards.  but if you look closely, you can see it clearly says "coliseum model T".

I think it's a vintage Model T.

Wish I had a couple thousand in the bank ... I'd try to win that for myself. I've always wanted a vintage Model T.

Looking at the transformers, the power transformer has the gold cover which means it's from Western Transformer which is (was?) a small company in Portland near the Ross Island Bridge. The output transformer doesn't have a top cover so this is a very early unit or possibly a prototype.

There were some other details on the back of that amp that looked different. The center vent was missing and the external amp jack was not in the correct place next to the impedance switch.
