As an out-of-towner I stopped at Chicago music on a couple different business trips and always had a good time.
I have no idea who would have made that amp but really have to question whether it really has both EL84s and 6V6s. I'm no expert but I've never heard of an amp using EL84s or 6V6s as anything other than power tubes and I can't figure out why they would have two different sets of power tubes. And apparently no rectifier tube? Curious...

However, there are no indications as to where or when it came from, outside of some of the caps having some Japanese going on. I'm pretty positive it has nothing to do with Crown power amps. My guess is Japan, 1968, but that's based on pretty much nothing.
Less relevantly but more interestingly, though, I can tell you that Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders lived in Tucson for awhile, and before he moved, he unloaded 50 or so of his apparently countless guitar amps in various states of repair at Chicago Music in downtown Tucson, and this was one of 'em. Chicago's the kind of place that's got piles of stuff everywhere, and if they know you, they'll let you mess with it- as in, take it apart and work on it- before you buy it. So I did just that with this amp, and it's shaped up to be quite a little gem!
But, like I said, what the hell is it?
