Any ideas on what this amp is?
Co-worker was gifted this many moons ago, but no real idea what it is. So I though I'd run it by y'all.

It looks like a 1950's Fender Pro chassis that someone put in a box that they had lying around.

It's exactly what it says on the Panel : a Fender Pro Amp. They were around in the early to mid 50s like 53-56. This looks like a wide-panel , which would be a 53 model. What makes you think the cab is not original? Looks correct to me...

Re: Any ideas on what this amp is?
Excellent. Thanks very much for the info. Does the addition of the 2-prong outlet in the back make this a 'boutique' amp? Not sure who the 'Moore' person was, but obviously far ahead of their time.
Surely this thing is worth something ( outlet, Moore badge and original headshell notwithstanding)?

Thats a Fender Pro housed in what I think is an Alamo Paragon amp cabinet from 1963.

I think its a modified Paragon head cab, based on the handle, the tolex and the metal corners.
