What do you desire info about as in how you have titled this post?

It seems this belongs in the For Sale section of the web site and not here in the comments section.

I'm new here so please help if you can. I am guessing it is a guitar head? I am wondering what type of cabinet would have been with this when new and also how many watts into how many ohm cab. Thanks. I will repost to the classifieds when I have some info.

Oh. I see!
Those heads could be used for bass or guitar , and it's list price was it's model number.

In terms of the head being used strictly for guitar it could have come with two different speaker cabinets.

One type would have 3 Jensen 15" C15L model speakers, and the other would be the same size 3-15 cabinet, but the top 15" driver would be replaced by a 15" round high frequency horn .

The amp when working right would output 100 watts rms ( really 92 in my test outs) into a 4 ohm load, but it will also power a 8 ohm load with some 40 watts.

You can see pictures of these amps by model number in this site's literature section.

Your amps 5157 serial number means it was born in mid to late 1966.
