I used to have an amplifier made by Webster Electric but don't remember the model number (tag in back said 20-20). It used a 5U4, 4-6L6GB's, 4-12AX7's and 2-12AU7's. Gold face, red jewel on left, st/mono slide sw. on right. High center was O/O Master vol., low was four input select. Each channel had individual vol, bass, treble.

Used to :cry: . Bought it from my sister's best friend's dad in '79 for $10. Used it a couple of years until one channel kept fading out a minute after turning it on. The chassis was loaded with bumble bees, but I didn't know what the heck they were (thought they were inductors :oops: ) and let it sit for some time. I threw it out over 30 years ago because moving it up to the attic was just not what I wanted to do, and still remember it disappearing from the curb before I closed the door to the house.

When it worked it was really sweet sounding.

Anyone know about this amp? I have never seen or heard about it on the web.

Would be nice to find another one.

Just my rambling.

I can't answer your question, but my father had one of these Webster Electric mono tube amplifiers, back in the 80's:

BTW, I have no affiliation with this auction, or the seller.

I recall that it sounded pretty good for a PA amplifier.

I hate to admit it, but about 6 years ago I did see just one listed on ebay and it sold for well over $900! Of course I was handily out bid. It was the only one I have seen in about 12 years of looking. I'd like another one, but I doubt I'll find one any time soon.
