Hi Skip, around 1969, my Father built from used parts he had purchased from the Flea Market, a Bass amplifier head for my Brother (which apparently still works). The name on the plate reads “THOROSON” 

My Brother and I would love to learn about the history of the Thoroson amplifier. Can you offer us any information?

Thanx in advance, Kinya

Hello Kinya, thanks for

Hello Kinya, thanks for writing. If you look a little closer you will see that it actually says "Thordarson." They were a huge transformer company and also made some PA and hi-fi amps. What you have is a 10 watt mono hi-fi amp from the late-forties/early fifties. Very cool!

Ah so! I will inform my brother of this new found knowledge of his Thordarson amp. In fact, I'm thinking of sneaking into his storage area and "borrow" it for my harp playing ;o)
