Important Safety Note for Vintage Owners:
Like many small consumer tube amplifiers of this specific early-1960s design, the original stock version of this model features a "transformerless" power supply topology where the circuit is fed directly from the wall line AC. This configuration is colloquially known among vintage gear collectors as a "widowmaker" circuit because a failure or reversed wall outlet polarity can accidentally put live mains voltage directly onto the guitar strings. For safe modern use, it is highly recommended to have a technician inspect it and install an isolation transformer along with a modern grounded 3-prong power cord if it hasn't been modified already.
