Did yours have a half-power switch?
No it was a home brew from a weber kit. Currently reconfiguring it to be just 18 watt only as 36 watt is just too much for my needs.

Have been reconfiguring it for 15 years so far.... I should really get around to it :D
Good things take time.

I had Bob Reinhardt build me an 18watt years ago. His amps were the standard 1974x on one channel and a TMB circuit for the other instead of a trem.
The 1974x channel was great but as stated by many above needed volume to hit the sweet spot despite the inbuilt London Power Scaling.

It was a cracking amp before the power tranny went :) Got a new one and never quite got around to fitting it. Ah well, plenty of time yet.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
