This thing has an amplifier-ACPS in a 5/8" wood, reenforced trunk 25 x 17 x 16
inches, 150 lbs., uses finals 2 805's. Nomenclature for amp is X-66428A. The lid
of the trunk has 2 sets of 4 clamp fasteners. In operation you remove the lid and
remount it to the other set of clamps, which makes the lid offset over the top
of the lid and exposes rainproof cooling air input and exhaust ports. The horn
speaker assembly has something like an old time lamp pole footing and the text
indicates it is to be mounted to ship deck. So that wouldn't be beachmaster use,
i  don't think.
