I used to have one of those old MOTS magnatone amps.

Its name was Magnetar, named by my wife.  It now lives with a friend of mine who loves it more than I ever could.

No, it's one of their lap steel amps. Still really cool.

It  was pretty cool!

My friend now uses it for amplified banjo.  And no that's not as bad as it sounds.
