fender blackface showman

Andy	fender blackface showman just picked up a fender blackface showman tonight, and I'm not sure what to think of it. it's pretty clear that it's been modified (no eyelet board, etc.) although I suppose it's possible that fender could have made one that way. I'm thinking of gutting it and makeing some kind of channel switching amp from it. probably a blackface clean channel with an AX84 hi-octane dirty channel, and 6L6 output for about 100W. all of this depends, of course, on whether the trannys are good.
