Welcome to the forum. While you can get a tip in many forums, we go deep here.
A 69 Showman is well worth restoring. I would pull the large tubes and see if a fuse holds together.
If it does, and the pilot light comes on then you have a runner.
If you want to get it going, post your issues on the vintage amp forum to get answers from the right people.
Good luck

You're in a good place to get help on your Showman project (nice), BD77. I know the gang here can and will help, and I second the vintage amp Forum for a good place to start. Enjoy.
