it is completely original. the original 2-prong cord, caps, tubes, and even the original 15" jensen paper cone speaker in fantastic shape, it's not dried out, not cracked, nothing.

the amp face was covered in rust and the cabinet tylex and grill cloth was completey filthy with boogers and ciggeratte smoke.

i removed the rust and stopped the rusting and thoroughly cleaned the tylex and grill cloth with vinyl cleaner and left everything as is, it's fucking perfect. the rust on the ot left on, on purpose
