This note is for several of those who commented above: John Morris, Kathleen Ruddy and Jon the Frequensator. I apologize, but I only just stumbled upon your comments on this page. I hope each of you will email me directly at howard@pen4rent.com.

Mr. Morris, if the Epiphone amp is still available, I MIGHT be interested. Please contact me directly.

Ms. Ruddy, I’d be interested in talking to you.

Jon, I clearly recall my father mentioning Herb Sunshine.

Thank you, all!

Your father sounds like a wonderful man. There are pics of him in the Epiphone factory along side with Herb Sunshine working on amps. Perhaps they shared space with Epi or leased space adjacent to the Epiphone shop (which never had more the 2 dozen employees)? Also in the documentary “Les Paul – Chasing Sound”, Les mentions that Nat was one of very few people he could talk with on the same level about instrument electronics. Les designed his “Log” guitar in the Epi factory and hung out there late 1930s to mid 40s from what I read.

Dear Mr. Daniel,

If you receive this email, I’m hoping you’ll contact me. I work for the US Army and am seeking some info in regard to time your Dad spent working on US Govt projects at Ft Monmouth, NJ. I will explain further if you are able to connect with me. Thank you kindly.

Did you find a caring buyer for your amp?

After reading your article, I would like to know if you have an interest in purchasing one of the early Epiphone amplifiers your father built. I currently have a working 1939 Epiphone Electar I would like to sell to an individual who would appreciate the historical significance and tone. Feel free to contact me at the e-mail listed above with any questions or to see pictures. Thanks.
