Was thinking that comment above was unlikely at the time, but found this in a detailed article in Vintage Guitar magazine online about pre WW2 Gibson amplifiers. So could very well be for the Oahu...
Catalog Y made a specific reference; “EH-110 Model – Same as EH-100 model but with special unit to be used on either AC or DC current.” All Gibson amps were available as Universal models until electric products were discontinued during WWII, with a $10 premium added to the regular prices. Besides the AC/DC models, Gibson also offered a six-volt DC battery-powered version of both the late-model 100s and the 125s. Since automobiles were equipped with six-volt DC electrical systems, it seems obvious what these amps were designed for.
