Gee, now you got me worried that I put "Vintage" on the title. I'm
fairly sure it wasn't made in the late seventies. My uncle lived with us
in 1975 and it was laying around then looking old back then. It was made
in Japan.
On the front on mine it say National Tremolo Reverb amplifier....Solid
State.
Maybe there is a date on it somewhere but I can't find it. I haven't
looked inside.
