Is this a pretty common box? I have only seen one of them. Any idea how old this would be? Thanks

Elkin mobile 175?

Not sure about "175"
The Elkin boxes never used numbers, Just Elkin 2 tube, 4 tube ect.
So if it is mobile they made a 2, 4, and 8 tube.
Pretty good old amps. They have not made any amps in 10 to 15 years. And were made here in NC. So if it has 175 on it, is that stamped on the unit? If so that is the production number and would make it over 20 years old.

This is a mobile box. I will look at it and get back to you in a little while. It was just the only one I have ever seen or heard of. It is not tube type.
That's about it. On/Off, Rec/Off, High/Low. Elkin 175. Can't tell you much more than that. Has a number on the back written in ink, 1131 where you tag is to show Ant. in or out. Not much smaller than the SuperStar 250 boxes. It is the only trans type box from Elkin I have ever seen.
Ok, Thats is a new one on me. I have never know the two guy's from Elkin to make a transistorized amp. I may be wrong. But dont think so.
I don't know anything other than that. It was purchased a long time ago and not by me. Just thought I might could get a little information about them. This is the only one I have ever seen. It was property of a radio shop in my area. He used it for his personal radio until his health got bad and had to give it up. That is how I obtained this box.
I will call a friend of mine that was a dealer for ESC (Elkin Service Center).
If anyone knows it would be him. He has been running a radio shop for 30 plus years. I think he is closed on Wednesday so it would be the day after . He is now 71 years old and simi retired.

Saw the 2nd Elkin 175 box today. It was in need of repair and at a local radio shop. Same as the one I have. Number was 1175 the best I could tell on the back.
