Default How to identify old tube amp chassis ?????

Back in the day, RCA made theater amplifiers as you describe, up to and including the potted transformers. These things were massive and usually rack-mounted.

The logos were enameled medallions, so if they were removed, you would have no other indication of the maker.

When theaters started replacing tube systems with solid-state and multi-channel systems, many thousands of these amps got trashed, and a vanishing few found their way into other hands.
