don't ask if it works, don't know, have to get a power cord for it, or make one up.

Isn't that a battery booster-slash-solenoid rectifier for a '57 Chevy?
My mom's had this exact same unit for her old car back n the day!
 
It's an 8-track boombox!

Now you can play those old KC and the Sunshine Band tapes you've been hanging onto all these years.
 
It's actually a first-generation cell phone.

You can call your home land line from your driveway for a mere $5/minute.

You need to stand about 25-35 feet away from it when in use so you don't microwave cook your internal organs.

Prolly should wear your tinfoil hat too just for safety's sake.

I can't make out the name badge on it. Manatone?

Did you scoop that out of a garage sale?

Cheers! :)

I can guarantee you, that if I give my bass player Jimmy, an old teisco solid state amp, and a first act six string guitar, he will sound better than me with my American strat and vintage Fender Super Reverb. Tone, comes from within, all the new gadgets etc won't help you at all if you don't have what it takes.
 
Magnatones were very nice amps. Mostly, though, they were used by organ and accordion players. They sounded very good with archtop electric guitars also -- not so much so with the solid bodies.
