Dave, I'm afraid I would have no idea what the interior of a bordello might look like. I'll just have to take your word for it...

Dave,
It looks like a straight up Dual Showman reverb to me. I think all the post cbs showmans had tfl5000 written on them someplace. The X maybe just means for Export. Its a legal thing. American amp manufacturers are not allowed to sell an amp that works with all voltages because of some tariffs or something. I've got a Twin over in the UK with that same voltage knob on it.

The guy is off by about ten years on when it was built.

I'm not so sure about the "red super slick custom velvet cover...... "

<SMALL> not so sure about the "red super slick custom velvet cover...... "</SMALL>

my point exactly... would go great with one of those red with gold trim Thinline Tele "Bordello-casters" from Korea

I know of the TFL5000 and as for the export part,
I have a made for export BF approx 65 Bassman head with that faboo multi tap switch, but it doesn't have that "touch of Velvet"
