The circuit board was fixed inside the speaker box with screws. It only featured the most spartan of controls. The back panel of the speaker box had a single jack socket to plug into.

Using two wire leads to a large 9 volt battery powered the amp. Disconnecting the wires from the battery turned off the amp. The Deacy Amp has no tone controls. In fact the amp sounded it's best at full volume.
