Philips EL5400 tube amplifier cinema / theatre set up from early/mid 1950ies

Here we have a complete cinema set up - made by Philips around 1950-1955 we suppose.
The amplifier section is with two EL5400 tube amps, that use EL34 tubes  in PP mode and 4 x EF40 in pre amp mode.
The predecessor amp of this type was the EL2904 with 4799 tubes , made in 1945.

Racked in a big size  metal cabinet with control speaker and two light-tone modules for movie sound use.
