I've been playing through it and it's such an amazing amp. 15 watts, It's loud and tubes are hard to find. It's got the VOX vibe in it too, It's got that chime when you need it and it takes the pedals really well. It's made in Japan, 100 volts and I'm pretty sure I haven't found anything like it. It came with telefunken tubes and it even came with a 12ax7 as a spare haha. For it's age, it's in awesome condition.
It runs 2x - 7189 Power Tubes
1x 6CA4 Tube Rectifier
2x 12AX7
1X 6AV6.
Reverb and the tremolo are also tube driven so they're very warm.
I got a little excited so I made a little cover.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
