Help identifying mystery amp


I inherited a bunch of audio equipment from my late father, and I'm having trouble identifying an amp he had in his collection. Apart from the lightning bolt on the front, there are no identifying marks or labels that I can find.

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Sorry for your loss.  That is very cool.  My guess would be it uses 2a3,45, or 300b tubes.  Any idea what tubes go in it ?

As stated by @dekay it's from the late Don Allen out of Arizona.  I owned one of his amps that I purchased from his personal collection when he became ill and started the process of downsizing and liquidating.  He made some good sounding products.

Thanks a ton for the help everyone! I guess my next challenge is sorting out which tubes go with this amp. My dad also amassed a sizable collection of tubes of various sorts, so the correct ones should be in there somewhere!

Thanks again!

Actually, maybe you all can help identify another mystery amp. This one appears to be an amp made by Dale Pitcher (sp?) while working at a company named "Essence", but I don't see this one listed on the Bluebook site.

Any one familiar with this one?

Based on the pinout of the power tubes looks like a triode of some sort 300B or 2a3 possibly. And Don Allen and Dale Pitcher are total underground legends I bet that gear sounds amazing.
