  • Super fun tone machine! Extremely rare 1950s Ariatone Model 810 made by Estey Mfg who also built the famed Magnatone amp line out of Torrance CA. Sounds epic with era appropriate rock and roll guitar tones. Incredibly lightweight as well.
    4 tubes and built in tremolo effect. One volume control, one tone control, high/low gain switch and tremolo switch. 2 inputs and indicator light. 8 or maybe 10" Speaker, about 15-18 watts. The circuit has no isolation transformer so caution is required.

    "Estey built amps for someone that sold them under the name Ariatone. Information about this brand is somewhat hard to come by. There were a few different models including a 6V6 powered 8" speaker model as well as the 810 which is an advertised 18 watt push-pull amplifier with an 8" speaker. The tube compliment is 12AV6, 12AU6, and two 50C5s. With 120V rectified, they were lucky if they had 140V B+ for the 50C5's making an 18 watt rating a bit far fetched. Unlike most of the OEM amps Estey made which were generally re-branded Magnatone amp circuits, this 810 circuit didn't seem to be used in any Magnatone amp. In 1964, Ariatone sold some of the Starlite series amps under the name Ariatone."
