I just finished restoring a 1936 Gibson EH100. Really was interesting to see the insides of this thing. Really there wasn't much in there, one resistor and a handful of caps, most of which were replaced. This belonged to my grandfather who bought it new in 1936 and I have the matching lap steel. It's a very clean amp and not very loud but it does sound good. It didn't work when I got it but I did a cap job and a three prong plug and it came right back to life. The original tubes all test good and remain. Thought I'd share some photos of the inside.
