neat huh?
The seller sent me pics asking about some replacement parts.
It may be coming to my office as an interesting conversation piece.

Can't be a real HI-TONE...it only goes up to '10' :D .

But, seriously, any info on its heritage?

yeah really!
it is probably a Valco amp labelled as a Hi-Tone. But I don't know for sure.
I know back in 2007, when I was researching the name, there were no amplifier associations that I could find.
It is a cute little mystery.

That slanted rear control panel and old Thordarson-style PT sure look 'Valco' to me. :)
