Looks like the perfect "Garage Amp" as is :lol:

I'd say pass. Inside the red twins is a big old circuit board. If the rest of the amp is that rough and rusty/mildewy (was it in Katrina?), the circuit board can't be that good.

I'd pass.

Hmmm, Needs Tubes and one speaker? Needs bug spray, new tolex, probably two speakers, Miami Beach. how long has it lived in the humidity in that guys garage?

Not Katrina, but Miami has had it's share of storms in the last 20 years. Was the Red Twin in production when Hurricane Andrew went through?

Doesn't look like anything that a little powerwashing couldn't save. :lol:
