Cool! Always love nice surprises like that...You could always contact Fender with
the serial number and they may be able to give you some history. Only problem,
Fender changed hands alot over the years but, worth a try...

Maybe somebody at http://www.ampwares.com/ffg/ (The Fender Field Guide) would be interested in helping you...?

Ask John Sprung @ Parts Is Parts. He co-wrote The Fender Amp Field Guide.
(Interesting that it doesn't have a 'Standby' switch!)
