I'm pretty sure this was modded by a guy close to me in Egg Harbor City, NJ. I met him a year or so ago when I bought a radio from him on craigslist.

Sooooo cool!! :P

It's great to see amps (and speakers) built in a specific style, but so far I haven't seen anything like that. I cannot recall what that style is called, but isn't it like the houses in Miami Beach .... Art Deco ....

Maybe this could be his lawn mower... Reminiscent of a 1953 Ford.

The amp is "Mid-century Modern." The hotel is in the style of "Art Deco" architecture. (Miami-esque)

You may be rite, I haven't made much in-depth studies of various US designs and art schools from last century. But I am still impressed by both.
