Its a 68 or early 69. Looks to be in great condition. It would have the goofy AB568 schematic. I say goofy because its a standard, fixed-bias, amp that has 150-ohm cathode resistors hanging on the 6L6's. They sound constipated in comparision to earlier Blackfaces and even later Silverfaces. But, a competent tech can remove the CBS buggery, leaving a lovely amp with adjustable bias and a happy phase-inverter
