So it seems to be the correct 784-103 OT. To be used with KT66s. Not a good match with EL34s ......BTW, I'm seeing a period correct aluminum chassis ....
Thank you Helmholtz, with what's been said here and also with Neikeels post in M0usey's link above I'm getting the picture now.
You're surely right about the chassis being aluminum. I think it's a good amp. I've never seen a silver script logo on an amp though. Have you?

p.s. we have a famous geological "Helmholtz Institute" here in Leipzig. :)

The OPs amp is a JTM45 with a Drake -103 OT
Ideally it should be running KT66 as it has an 8k primary (EL34s work best with a 3-4K primary).
Ideally 470R on each and 1k flying resistor taking supply from turret to first octal socket.
