beware of this one.

the Power Transformer is from a 1974-1975 DR103, its a parts-watt and a sloppy one with a ridiculous price at that.

Well spotted!
As a matter of interest is there any validity in the bit about the case never having had a logo on it for an amp? I've only ever seen slaves that had the logo on the chassis front plate rather than anything on the casing.

as much as that poor amp has been hacked, I firmly believe the case to be from a slave.

The entire amp is a frankenstein Part-watt.

besides that of a slave amp, I have never seen a legit Hylight cab that did not have a badge.
