Some time ago I was given an oddball combo amp supposedly Canadian made in the 60s called a "Keil" Its all p2p wiring and look like they were made as one-offs judging by all of the scribe marks on the chassis. Power is from a pair of 6AQ5s into a 12" marsland spkr. The metal cabinet is kind of wierd but interesting nonetheless as is the ac outlet in the control panel to plug in a turntable.

The reverb unit is in the bottom of the cabinet and is powered from an ac outlet in the underside of the chassis.

Scary but it works!

Has anyone else ever seen, heard or owned one?

I emailed that guy a full set of pics and a description of the amp about 2 years ago and never heard a word back despite his request for more information:confused:

That amp looks a lot like a Cobra amp i serviced a while back.the chassis is the same and a lot of the internal components are the same as well.In montreal in the 60's there was a compnay that made amps for different companies that distributed them under different names.

There are two of these amps on the folkway music website.
They're in Guelph.
