It was already in when I purchased the amp. First time to try this brand - sounds nice! Searching claims Speaker cone made in UK, rest parts China and assembled in US.

It is most likely 2003 to 2005 model Galaxie 25 with 25 watts RMS which seems pushing a bit for a dual EL84 amp. Very simple set up with 1 volume, Treble, Mid, Bass and Reverb controls. Sounds very smooth at volume 4-5 but can induce some Ray Charles rasp to sound with harder pick or fingers attack.
Bought this amp for $130 with Mojo speaker and new JJ power tubes and has 2 Phillips pre-amp tubes. and JJ EL 832 reverb post tube.
I have 3 Fender Combos with dual 6L6 or 6V6 so this is a nice deal into the more British sound.

It is rated at 25 watts RMS. Besides the Tele, have played a Robert Cray Strat and Les Paul Special JR with P90s through it although didn't get much time w/ LP. The amp also has a large size reverb tank but it starts to feedback at high settings. I put a 12au7 in place of 12ax7 reverb send and added a rubber pad under the tank which helped. When turned way up it is like Dick Dale City. I usually set around 3-4 so not a real problem.
Besides 5 Teles, have 4 Les Pauls, 2 Strats, a Gibson L6 Special (for sale), Ibanez Artcore AF75 w/Bigsby and a Parts Fender Jazz (neck) bass. I kind of get scattered doing things with different gear but hope to get some time to play more of the others through the G25. That and run it in tandem with Brown Deluxe w/ delay.
I saw a Epi Blues Custom this week in the local CL. That is where I found this Galaxie.
