Ya, a one tube layout diagram. That is, a, ya, it is. But, it does let you know what that one tube is
I'm hoping to use the 1/8" cable for the guitar cable if it is shielded and just put an adapter on it or maybe keep it as a line in (at least I think it's a line in) and add a guitar jack. Will see...
After the wife totaling her car, us spending the money we had saved as a down payment for a home on another used car, only to have that used car be a lemon and sucking more money on repairs, and my van pretty much being on it's last leg, this amp is about all the fun project I can afford at the moment. I feel blessed to have stumbled across it and for the wife giving the two thumbs up to get it. I would say three alien thumbs up, but I'm the alien - she's the earthling...

That is very nice!
If you saw all the old tube stereos I have you'd go wild trying to convert them to guitar amps...I have one with 4 EL84's

I was going to up load a couple pictures of the chassis, but I the pictures won't insert into the post. I tried Opera, Firefox, and Edge. Didn't get any errors, uploads say 100%, etc - pictures just don't insert. I'll try again later...
I took another look at that old sears amp - that is super nice...

It came in. I stuck it on a current limiter, cranked it up, stuck a 1/4" adapter on the 1/8" input cable, plugged in my guitar and it sounded great (minus the hum). I think this will make a nice table top tube amp with 4.5" and 4" dual speaker setup. Even has a 5uf/12wv filter capacitor between them (of course it's measuring more like 13uf now days, umm, ya) - lol. Anyways
I will have to replace a few things unfortunately, but that's the nature of the beast with this old stuff - if you want to use it and not just look at it anyways. The tube is an ECL82/6BM8 with the following printed on it: ECL82/6BM8 , Tungsram , Austria , 0G2 , B1F.
It pretty much looks like the pictures above but here is a pick of how it was packaged and a few of the chassis:
