Anything distinguishing?Looks like replacement knobs, no Traynor badge on the front, and replacement grill cloth. That's the older style cabinet (up to about '69) as well.

He had one too so I plopped mine up there to see how it looked when finished.I meant the tolexed cabinet of the Traynor head, not the speaker cabinet.

I don't think that's a removable-top style, is it? The head box for the YBA-3A I used to have looked like that, with the rubber bumper around square sides, and you had to slide the chassis out to get at the insides (total pain with that thing, too). I thought removable top was only the later ones with the angled control panel (I think fm benadrian has one)?
