Not like the present STL units.  The model number of it is MI-31739-B.  Its really clean and nice on the outside, i've put new tubes in it but there are some "issues" under the chassis.  I remember removing some burnt (to a toast to say the least) power resistors and then set it off into the dark corner of the shack to get to again, some day.  The power /vol control is shorted for one thing, the AC line plug has been taped together and there are some wires hanging inside that must be there for some purpose.  I have no paper on this thing and am needing info before i dig into it.  If nothing else i'll strip all the wires out of it and rewire it as a speech amp for my 4-250 rig which needs something like this to sound decent.

A picture would help. Also there should be a model name/number other 
than the MI (master item) number.
