Top pic: amp is Knight (Allied Radio) 83 YU 777 aka KB85, preamp looks to be 83 YX 776. Both ~ 1958. Amp is pretty decent circuit wise (Mullard 5-20 variant) but uses shitty phenolic PCBs so trace lifting is common. Looks like original EL37s and GZ34s are present and may be worth more than the amp/iron. i.e. buy it for the tubes assuming they're good. Preamp is full featured but complex and uses the same circuit board type and remarkably inferior PCB type rotary switches.

Bottom pic: speakers look like EV "Aristocrat" cabinets but could be loaded with just about anything driver-wise. Caveat emptor here. No idea on electronics.
