Well another way to do it would be with a DMM. With a speaker cord inserted into the jack just measure the resistance between the tip and sleeve. It won't show you what it wants to see but you'll know if they're the same without opening the amp.

Food for thought, I have a Super Reverb at home that wants to see 2 ohms.
