Talk Bass thread about Walter Woods  From this thread you can date Walter Woods amplifiers:

Wasp

Wasp amps were built in New Zealand and Australia. For the full story including a communication from Ian Johnstone, founder of WASP in 1967 see Ozvalveamps

The Saints guitarist Ed Kuepper used a WASP amp with EDA speaker cabs live in 1977 as seen on a film clip on ABC Rage program.

One amp I saw on ebay had the following inscription on the back "Manufactured by Wasp Ind Pty Ltd under license to holden consolidated ltd New Zealand.
