The seller calls it a model 99 but it is actually a Valco National N-6899 and was the top of the line Amp and a brand new model during the last gasp of Valco before it's 1970 bankruptcy filing. It is about a sophisticated and powerfual an amp as they ever made. The seller describes it as a 50 watt amp but guess what - note that there are FOUR 6L6 tubes and two seperate output transformers - so it is a real DUAL CHANNEL 50 watt amp - like the Magnatone 480 Stereo amp. You shoould be able to drive two seperate cabinets with a split stereo signal with this baby and have headroom to spare.

I have here for sale one very special amplifier, yes indeed. If you are familiar with the National brand you know what I am talking about.
This amplifier was made basically on the same Sears Roebuck assembly line as the old Supro and Supras.
It is an antique('69). This doesn't effect its performance though. I had a grounded power cord and new tubes installed last year by Midwest Music Menders.
Other than that it is all original.
Features:
National Model 99. head.
50 watt all tube (6L6) power (12ax7) preamp.
Sweet analog tremolo
Tube reverb.
High/low inputs on two channels.
Built in power attenuator, i.e. Studio/auditorium setting
DON'T Let this one go!

A reader brought this listing to my attention. It's an interesting combo amp that appears to be a cross between a Supro Trojan and a Harmony 525 Bass amp. I'd suspect this was labeled as a National but I could be wrong since National used the...
- 1966 Magnatone M15 In Fresno For $400
The M15 is a real stereo amp - two completely separate channels with separate Transformers (see the pic) for incredible sound. This Magnatone is in very nice shape too - except for the missing knobs. But the knobs are one of the easiest things to replace....
