Up for sale, a 1950 Silvertone 1342 vintage tube guitar amp in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This rare all-tube gem is from the first year of a short production run, complete with the original Rola 12 speaker. The original Silvertone catalog description heralds the 1342 as “low, wide and handsome, ” and the two-tone green and beige faux leather covering is indeed the amp’s standout cosmetic feature, accented by the original pressboard back panel and a clean silkscreened faceplate with chicken head knobs. The amp sounds great with a drive box in front of it to goose the 6V6s into a bit more compression and sparkle, and the open-back cabinet design lends the amp a smooth, airy quality. The circuit is very original, with stock transformers including a particularly overbuilt and massive power transformer. The connection between the speaker and chassis has been upgraded with more heavy-duty speaker wire, and a three-prong power cable has also been installed. The original Rola speaker dates to’50 and the speaker cone appears original, still working well without any flab. The two-tone deep green and beige covering (noted as imitation leather in the original catalog) shows some light wear on the edges of the trapezoidal speaker cab, but as the photos can attest, this Silvertone is an uncommonly well-kept example with a particularly clean faceplate and even the stock leather handle.
