While helping out a friend buy a Star Wars, I got the opportunity to buy what was represented to me as a non working Amplifone monitor. The tube has had the label removed so I was suspicious, and continue to be. The boards were in good shape and the yoke is correct so I figured it was a good purchase anyway at the price he wanted so I bought it. Before I spend a bunch of money rebuilding the boards, is there an alternate way to determine if this is indeed a M48AAW00X? The tube face doesn't have any burn on it (also makes me suspicious). The only label I can find is a small red one shown in the pic below. It reads 19V 2T514AU. Anyone have this label on their Amp? Any help would be appreciated.

I can't vouch for the numbers given, but i can say the side brackets look to be original to the amplifone. However, the Raster ampliphones have the same bracket. Don't know if that helps you or not, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
 
I think if it has the correct yoke, then it's the real deal. The Amplifone color XY monitor used both a med res and std res tube.
