Picking this up on Thursday - 1956 Oahu-branded Valco - seems to be the same amp as the Supro Spectator, but with insane red pearloid!

Ha! It was originally paired with a lap steel, but Valco did call the colour 'Accordion red'!Laservampire wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 1:03 pmFuck that, red pearloid calls for an electric accordion!!
I've been working on the wiring a bit, based on http://crawlsbackward.blogspot.com/2016 ... supro.html
Plus I worked out that the step-down transformer output voltage is only 100VAC, not 110, so that might be why it's a bit more polite-sounding than others.
