Paul Bechtoldt sent this photo of his ToneMaster "Troubador" Model 214. It is very similar to the Magnatone 213 and 213A. It was manufactured by Estey Electronics Inc.of Commerce, California. The Model 214 has 2 input channels (each with high & low gain) preamp'd by a 12AX7. Two loudness controls and one tone for both channels. Also, Speed and Intensity controls for the vibrato. A 12AU7 is used in the vibrato circuits with half a 12AX7 for the oscillator. Half a 12AX7 for phase inversion into twin 6V6 power tubes. One 12" Oxford speaker #12K5R-1 (date codes: 465-046). A 5V4G rectifier tube for Hvdc. Paul says it has extremely good vibrato, and the tone is well suited for blues. Great harmonics when overdriven, smooth not sharp.

Approx. 20 Watts
