Is it worth anything? Thanks in advance...

That one is in good shape too cosmetically.Mine has a little bit of "basement rust"seasoning on it.
I am the second owner of one of these bad boys.Bought it from a former co-worker who built it back in 1957.I am absolutely astounded how good this amp sounds.It is all in the output transformer.And with any other Williamson based amp making sure the output tubes are matched and the sections of the driver tube are balanced.
In an estate sale not far from where I live. But I'm not going to buy it because I don't have the skills to work on it.

I could drive down tomorrow being there is no school but that's about a 100 mile hike from Saginaw and the Garrard isn't a 301 like I want.

looks to be identical to the one that my parents had in a system that my father bought for my mother, so she could listen to opera. Sorry, was getting nostalgic. I heard my first jazz on that system. But my parent's Garrard was maroon in color with a white rubber mat, IIRC.

I could pick it up for you. Just tell me how much to offer.
I have to drive to Saginaw to see you sometime anyway. I have work for you and would love to see and hear your rig.
LOL
Jay that is so nice of you but I have too many amps now in my collection that I'm starting to scale down.If you want it and you can get it cheap,pick it up as it would be a nice amp for you in the Garage or a spare room.

As others have stated Eico HF20 6L6 integrated mono amp. Outstanding Chicago potted transformer. PS transformer is weak link Heyboer can wind you a better drop in replacement. The amp can be modded into a high quality monoblock, Google will provide.
I just took a look at my pair of HF 20's to confirm. The power transformer on the one in this thread has had its power transformer replaced with one substantially larger than the stock PT.

Eico HF 20 I think. Check ebay completed listings for value.

It looks like a PP 6L6 single channel amplifier to me. Nice big iron. If you can find another in that good of shape you would have to makings of a nice pair of monoblocs. I can't tell the brand so I can't comment on the value to a collector.
