Posted this question in Lounge and got mostly crickets. More knowledgeable vintage amp folks, here. :lol:
Any idea the brand/model of amps in back line, in this nicely restored JB video?

Thanks!

Ike and Tina on the same show. Same Amps, but can't tell what they are.

This is the best I can come up with, but doesn't seem to help. Maybe someone else will recognize it.

Don't recognize the amps, but I sure recognize the late '60's Farfisa Professional Electric Piano. Keyboard players felt about the Farfisa Piano about the same way that guitar players felt about the Fender Solid State amps back then...

My final answer, custom Garnet Mach 5 probably with the BTO mods. The Guess Who also played these amps and there is a photo of them in studio, the one w/ the Strat case open in the front of the amps (not really conclusive ID, but looks the same)
Combination Bass/Lead amplifier, schematics available in "the tube amp book"
3x 12ax7
1x 6sn7(PI)
1x 6gc7(Reverb)
2x 6v6
Diode rectifier

The control knobs, input Jack's and front panel all seem to line up with this Teisco Checkmate 60. But it's not 100% exact.
