<br />It looks like its an Orange/Matamp prototype.
NOT 100% confirmed as of yet.
I have left it with Jeff at Matamp and he will sort the electrics and try to find out whatever he can about its history.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">Exciting!

Only dimly aware of existence, a dimly existing awareness...
You get a wonderful view from the point of no return.

Here is an extract from a mail sent from Jeff at Matamp regarding the repairs to this amp :-
"The update is that after 3 hours work and fitting 2 fuseholders, 2 EL34 valves and the 32u+32u caps we now have a worker giving 32watts, remember its a bass amp. I have freed the switches but they only half work, they really need changing. Should i or shouldn't i ?. "
I have written back saying that the switches should be replaced so that the amp works correctly.
Dave (Orphin) I have sent you a mail regarding your post about the artifacts from Matamp - hope you get it

<br />I have a date - 1968
The amp was seen by the original builder today.
I am now going to see if I can find out more from the person I purchased it from 28 years ago.
Unfortunately the original seller is in Russia at the moment so will be another week or two before I can speak with him.

Did Jeff authenticate it to that year?

That's cool.
With my amp it's hard to tell. Mat's old records didn't strech further than 1972. I guess mine is built between yours in '68 and when Cooper Mathias Ltd. launched in august '69, because it doesn't say Cooper Mathias on it like the later ones.
