Just got some pictures. For being a '75 amp I must say its condition looks awesome.

Pretty in black. Very nice condition indeed. 8)

GOOD LUCK!!!

'75 though? Always thought they started in '76. This page suggests it too:

Thanks, man! :D You're right about -76. I just mailed him about it. The power valves seem to be 6550's. Do you have EL34's in yours?

Yeah I've always run EL34s. Ade once suggested 6L6s for bass. 6550s? Probably not my thing.

I'm not sure they're 6550's though it looks that way in the pic. They're a little wider compared to EL34's. But I may be wrong.

Thanks, Andy! My tubes do look wider than yours. I bet they're 6550's. I wonder if it's possible to get Ade to take a look at the pics in this thread and make a statement...? Alex? Can you help me?

I think the power tubes are GT 6CA7s (so still EL34 family)
