Re: CARDINAL 200
New one on me. The L and T are your load and tune controls as it's a tube type amp. I'd check the high voltage capacitors to see if they are leaking or shorted before plugging her in and turning on. There were some Contex and ABC branded amps that fit your description but the Cardinal I've never heard of before.

With a pair of 6JG6's it's good for about 50 watts depending on the plate voltage and drive.

Tubes glow, resistors blow, pills are for swallowing.

I guess the smoke hasn't cleared to get back on and tell us if it's working,, when you do some pics would help identify it.
