SE84A authenticity / originality questions
Today at 19:20:55
 
Hello. I came across an early SE84A amplifier.  I have previously owned a se84c-s, so I am familiar with the great sound. After I sold the se84cs, I have searched until now to find another se84 amp. The questions i have about this se84A amp:
Is the transformer original? It is grey painted.
Is the chassis "brushed aluminum" original?  I thought the early se84 were all grey.
Is the large 32uf capacitor original?
Is the signature on bottom signed by "Steve" actually Steve Deckert!?
Have a good day and thanks for insight

If it is a Rev. A it should have a transformer with black end caps, gray chassis, no brushed aluminum, and the "volume control" is on the back by the power cord inlet.

00046 seems about the right serial number; I bought the 27th amp that Steve built, and right after that he made Rev. A amps and I sent mine back for the revisions.
