Vintage Circa 1950 Carvin Model 205 Amp - Gray Pearloid - Very Rare!

Here's a very early carvin tube amplifier from around 1950. It appears to be a Model 205, but I cannot be certain. The tubes are two 12J5, two 6V6GT, and a 6X5. It has a 12 inch permanent magnet speaker.

The speaker code is 371041 (41st week of 1950). One pot is readable with a code of 304048 (48th week of 1950).

The amp has an updated 3 prong grounded power cord. The two 12J5 tubes are "new old stock" and the other tubes test good. The amp has a loud hum when you turn it on, so it likely needs filter caps. Sold as-is in non-working condition, but I am sure a tech could get it going with no problem.

If you are into early Carvin stuff, or early vintage tube amps in general, this is a great find. Thanks for looking!
