Fake Zapco AG350? Did I get scammed? Look at these pics...

Hi:

I recently purchased a used Zapco AG350. When I got the amp, it looked like this:

It also came in a plain white box:

It is missing the "Zapco" logos and the line that runs along the bottom of the top face of the amp.

Here is what a real one looks like:

Did I get a fake amp??

Thanks

open her up and see if it looks anything like these guts. Maybe the symbols were taken off. Anyways open it up

The middle terminals look a bit different, but the photo resolution is a bit on the crappy side. Hard to tell. Open her up!

It doesnt look fake to me, maybe the previous owner took the lines and logo off? But id also suggest opening it up to be sure.

I had this on my tru amp. All the amps I saw had the Tru logo on the top but all the one's I've seen people own doesnt have it. It's probably just nothing.

Here are the pics...real or not you tell me?

It doesnt say "Zapco" anywhere inside the amp. But it says "American Graffiti" by 413. S. Riverside Drive Suite D Modesto CA 95354. And apparently it is Manufacturered by A.R.P.A. of America Corp. Is that the same company as Zapco?
