I'm betting it's a Pro Reverb, Tony. Mebbe even a Vibrolux Reverb. The O/T is pretty small to be a SR.

I was looking at the 45 watt output and the 2 ohm load.

Hmm... odd. S/N = 44015. Which would make it a 1968 BMR. I remember it had drip edge, TFL 5005D. I put the chassis into a 2 x 10-inch cab. Sold both DIY combo and old cab. Strange, about that impedance sticker.

I would of guessed 73, given the D Ledford stamp in that position, 3 prong accessory outlet and the back plate from a 45 W super. (push pull master)

Is this one a (from another thread) a vibrolux reverb? (smaller cap can)

Yes, that photo is of a 1971 Vibrolux Reverb. Here's a 1968 Super Reverb.

Compare and contrast the O/T in this amp vs the tranny of the "blue glow" pic previously posted.
