Don't know but I don't think they can be offered for sale with that Bulgin mains socket? He needs an IEC fitted and a PAT test.
No doubt ICBM or other will have the full SP?

The 6550s are almost certainly not the right valves either. It should be EL34s if it's a 100W amp or KT88s if it's a 150 - from the size of the transformers I'd guess the former. Old Laneys are very hard on the valves though, so these may have been fitted to make it more reliable.
The Bulgin isn't actually illegal to sell it with privately, but I would still replace it - the TAD replacement IEC socket is the correct fitment and fully covers the old hole - others don't.

As it has a decent set of transformers, I don't see a major issue running 6550Cs, but it will have been re-biased at some point to cater for them, so If you do decide to fit EL34s / KT77s make sure it is re-biased accordingly.
Won't go into the topic of Bulgins, as we have thrashed that one to death on the forum, suffice to say IC is 100% correct, suggest you replace it with a TAD IEC socket, they fit the original screw centres, but will still need amount of chassis filing to fit.
Cab is still available. Price drop to £250.
