It may have a asthetic that some might not like, especially this is a console pull. But a lot of these amps, when overhauled and brought up to spec, sound pretty damn good for what they are and what little ( I least in my experience) people pay for them. With th ebay prices going nowadays and a revival for "midcentury" console being the hip thing now, the prices some of these consoles are demanding are laughable, at best.
If you are handy and enjoy diying and tinkering, they are a great, affordable way to get into tubes.
Oh, and they sound great for what they are and you have to put that into prespective. My first one was a VoM 6v6 console pull , then I went crazy and had about 10 of these laying around in different stages of repair. I used these on my old 604's and enjoyed my music on the cheap, very cheap......
