This amp was recently serviced by renouned Czech amp tech Jan Stehlik (I can provide detailed pdf service report with photos of before and after). All three transformers are original - 1) Triad 45249 output transformer (the same one which was used in 5F6-A Tweed Bassman), 2) Choke Schumacher 17th week of 1961, 3) Power transformer 110V Schumacher 17th week of 1961. Original Oxford 10K5 speakers - one has been reconed. They all play fine even in at high volume. The amp comes with non-original harmonic tremolo footswitch and padded cover. The amp is located near Prague, Czechia and I prefer personal pickup.
