I'd say saved but don't want to tread on blasphemy. True story though, this one was at the dump (today) not long for burial.
53 Harmony H205 2-6V6's
Any experience with these?

I've only had great luck w/ any and all Harmony amps prior to when the Japanese bought them and they went transistor.
What you basicaly have here is a poor mans Fender Tweed Deluxe. 2 6V6 and 1X12" speaker. It is possibly 22 watts RMS but even with two 6V6 I suspect lower wattage and closer to the 50s Fender Tweed Deluxe ( One of my all time, hands down fav amps) that inspired it. Incredible find! Once it gets a going over you won't be sorry.

Nice find! There not loud amps but they have great tone.
It's identical to an early 50's Silvertone 1342. About 10-12 clean watts.
Guitar players love them but they make good harp amps too!

I have a H306A which is a similar circuit.

Nice save! Get it to a good tech. Then put a Weber 12F125 in there, if it will fit. You'll be amazed!

This should make you smile
