Yep - called out elsewhere: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1784&view=unread#p14416

As Dr.Hiwatt stated, the OT came from somewhere else (maybe Hammond?). Speakers look to me to be Sound City Fanes, with HIWATT labels (mis)applied and specification labels removed.

Both transformers, power board wiring, speakers, cabinet. rivets holding the power tube sockets in place.

I recognize the handwriting on the chassis....I am not surprised.

this is one hack job no amount of illegal substance could make you feel any better about purchasing/owning/selling.

Didn't pay attention to other SA412 auctions - shouldn't the chassis and face plate run the full length of the cabinet?

They did on my SA212...

Right Dave,
it should have the same chassis as the sa212.
This thing is a mystery. the PT looks like it was from a Laney, the OT is from a Sound City
