and he kindly got right back to me personally with the following information about my trusty
old Standel Amp, as follows:
"Hi Jon,
Your Standel was built in 1965/66. It has 40 watts of power output (80 watts is power consumption with the amp being 50% efficient) and four ten-inch Jensen speakers.
Hope that helps.
All the best,
Danny “Sage” McKinney
The Standel Co."
The Amp (sounds way better than it looks folks): (original casters)

I first came in to contact with Standel amps when I shared a rehearsal space in
San Francisco with the band Quicksilver Messenger Service. John Cipollina one of
the 2 guitarists (Gary Duncan was other guitarist) had a very unique set up
in our rehearsal hall on Harrison St. SF, incorporating 6 Fender Twin Reverb Amps,
4 Fender Dual Showman heads and 2 big 2 x 15" Standel amps on either side with
similar front panel configuration to my Artist model. He also had his rig going
through brass high frequency horns. It was loud and it sounded good!
I got my Standel amp at Silver & Horland music shop on 48th St. in NYC in the
late 70's for 90 bucks and it's still working today.
Yesterday we featured some of the lost tapes of our good friend Les Paul R.I.P.
The Lost Les Paul Tapes 1988 from Jon Hammond Show - Recorded April 4, 1988 NYC
As seen on The Jon Hammond Show MCTV a 1988 performance of Les Paul Trio at Fat Tuesday's NYC "There's No Place Like Home" dedicated to Les' Mom aka "Sniff Along With Les" hilarious commentary from Les.
*note from Jon Hammond: apology for some slight tracking variance, the historic nature of these previously lost tapes determine I broadcast this again in Les' memory.
Gary Mazzaroppi is the bass player and Lou Pallo second guitar (also a Gibson according to Les!)
Special thanks Roger Bell, Joe Berger, Rusty Paul.
RIP Les - Lester William Polsfuss (June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009)
