Anybody?
Not a great picture, I know, but think of it as adding to the challenge!
Edit: Appears to be one of
these, attached to a 2x12 instead of a 4x12.

Yeah I saw that one during my Jennings search, but thought the one in question looked more like the J100 (ie minus the chicken head switches and blue(?) pilot light). I wonder if, possibly, they've stuffed a J100 head in what was a J40 combo? I don't know if that's even possible.
I can't remember where I saw that pic, it was on a forum somewhere and I downloaded it to my desktop. I found it the other day by accident and thought "oooh, I never did work out what that was!"

Yes indeed. Again, during my google (Jesus, what did the world do before Google?) search, I found that these were apparently made by Jennings of JMI (and later Vox) fame. Jennings then sold his Vox stake and made his own amps, briefly, of which these are a result. Then they were later re-housed and built by Triumph (Vampower). Or something.
As far as I can work out about the new JMI, they are nothing to do with the old JMI but make
VOX AC30s the way that Vox did when JMI where making them
