Help with a mystery vintage amp head

An electronics repair guy gave me this amp head with no markings on it. It looks homemade or from a kit. It has 4 nine pin tube sockets and four right pin tube sockets, 2transformers and some old looking armaco caps. Where kits common back in the day? What where they modeled after? I thought the knobs might be a good way to date it. Annoying that I can't post pics of it, any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

They sure don't make it easy. Don't see anything on my profile page, faq says very little.

Thanks atma. I forgot to mention the tremolo knob. No reverb. I will try and get all capacitors replaced if I go for it. I have a 2x12 jensen cab from possibly 60s era to run it through. I guess I'm wondering if it's worth it to restore. What kind of sound is this thing going to have.

I didn't see any markings on the transformers. What are the pots on the inside for? And the 1/4" jacks? Is that an effects loop?
