Here's an odd power amp. This was used to amplify a set of chimes with pickups on each chime tube for outdoor speakers. 50 Watt output with several impedance taps using 4 6L6''s in parallel push pull. When I installed the organ back in about 1980, I had to hook this system up to the organ. I believe I may have replaced a couple of tubes at that time. The chimes have long since been replaced as the original were cracking. So this amp has not been in use for at least 25 years. I was at the church today to service the organ and for a slight reduction in the bill, they gave me the amp. I have no idea what I'll do with it or if I'll even rebuild it. I called Paul Rowe of Maas-Rowe today to see if he had a mate hiding in the parts archives. If I could find a mate, I could sell a stereo pair on Ebay to some audiophool. Unfortunately, Paul said they threw out most of the tube stuff years ago. He still had some replacement transformers, though! If they are output iron, I may buy them off from him. Interestingly, there is a 6E5 as an output indicator.
