1963 Hohner Concertophon III tube amp: 15W EL84 pushpull crunch!

A 1963 incarnation of the Concertophon, with three triodes for preamp and tremolo, one for the phase inverter, pushpull EL84s and EZ81 rectifier. 2 x 10" speakers... not the best. The first step was basically a repair, fixing some dead solder joints on the cathode of V2.
