magnatone. If it says MAC then it's likely the "-AGNATONE" is just torn off, or it's really "MEC" for Magna Electronics Company. Does it have the VIBRATO? if not then it's cool but doesn't have the Magnatone's "reason for living"

See if you can find it here

Edit: it's probably one of the first series. Look near the top of the page. Enjoy! Those are fine amps!

Well there's your problem!!

That will cause a buzz sometimes. You might also have a disconnected ground somewhere. Get that other tube and fire it up and get back to us. Transformers are usually the last things to go, most are actually quite robust. Rust can be bad for a transformer but other than that they're usually quite durable and over spec'd in older amps.

You're welcome to the info any time. Congrats on the great find!!!

PS i'm sure it DEFINITELY needs a re-cap by now.
