I think those run 6550s like my Orange...  MTI-era.  Probably a good sound and build quality, and off the collector radar.

Go grab it!!   ;D

Never understood the logic of suspending valves, with heat rising through the chassis...

Fender amp heads evolved from combos, basically just cutting the electronics part off the speaker part. Took a while for builders to realize there might be a better way.
