I just picked up an all tube at a sale today. It has a model 3 amp according to the top and serial number is 22. It blew the breaker when I plugged it in but it’s going to my buddies shop tomorrow. I cannot find another online to compare it to. Has a big chrome DeLuxe emblem kinda diagonally over top left of the speaker. The wrap is in great condition and has huge metal tacks patterned around the front perimeter and the speaker. The only fabric is over the circle cutout for the speaker. I was told it was made in 1944! Anybody with info?? I will check back here later.

I have one of the original speakers you need for your amp. It is a 16 ohm round ceramic magnet cts with aluminum dust cap. It is for sale on ebay. Item # 191322805772 I also have a Futura Model. As yours, one of the original speakers was blown so I replaced them with similar heavier magnet CTS models from the same era.

My 2567 was pulled out of a barn (totally covered in bird sh*t) and has been my main gigging amp for nearly a decade (still using the original tubes).

The speakers (original) are actually labeled Alamo, and the cone has a stamp: LCC 2843.

The metal cover on the back of the magnet states: “Application Engineered ALAMO Electronics Corporation”

I inherited the Futura from my dad. I did not know it was a hybrid. It has the original speakers but the writing on them is not legible. I had heard that it had 35 watts. But 25 with tubes is plenty of power. My 1963 piggy back Fender Bassman had 60 watts and it was loud and used in large halls. (War Memorial Auditorium in Ft. Lauderdale)
I just got a strat with custom shop ’69 pickups and this amp and that guitar are a great combo.
What are these worth?

I have exactly the same amp that you have pictured. My dad bought in the mid 80’s, and it wasn’t new then. It has the combination of transistors and tubes you speak of. It has traveled a lot of miles in the trunk of his car – or bed of his truck – and still sounds great today. In a small room, I never turn the volume past 2!
