Whatever you do, DO NOT power them up to see if they work. It needs to be done with controlled voltage and current monitoring or serious damage can occur, if they've been stored in garage conditions.

I have 2 schematics i think if its any help, though apparently mine doesn't match either.
They run clean but some transformer tap something or other lets them dirty up. I had mine modded so the fx loop is used for more gain via one channel as a gain control.
Each channel has push/pull to use the loop (or added dirt on mine) and an internal tone trimmer wheel.
Would love the tape echo, just because..
Sound great to me clean, in the Fendery region Bassman-ish perhaps. For dirt it sounds bad with V30s but full and meaty with a Creamback 65. Also sounds a lot different with old Mullard power valves vs the Telefunkens. Praps they're just tired.
32 watts I think is the usual quoted number.
I'd like to have mine un-modded... have to find someone to do that.
DIN sockets replaced and channel 2 as gain -

If yours has DIN sockets it's point to point, later ones that came with 1/4" as standard have a circuit board apparently, I've not seen into one of those though.
The echo is tape, still see the tapes sold in Germany. Once guy reckoned they can be quite noisy but that could just be a case of needing servicing...
