This a very nice amplifier. It comes to you in it’s original boxes and styrofoam inserts, as you can see in the photos. Cosmetically, it looks good with some minimal wear on the cabinet. The faceplate still has the plastic film over it, so it’s in perfect condition. Operationally, it works as good as it looks! It’s currently wired for 117VAC. With no load, plate voltage sat at 2400VDC. When keyed-down, plate voltage sat at 2000VDC. With 70 watts of drive on 40 meters, we got 550 watts out. With all this, there was no hum coming from the power supply. Please realize that this is a vintage piece of equipment, and unless specifically noted above, it has not been fully restored with new components. It will inevitably need maintenance, however it’s impossible to know whether that will be next week or a few years down the road.

Up for sale, a 1964 Silvertone model 1457 “Amp-in-Case” electric guitar in excellent, 100% original condition, with original tube amplifier built into the case. Manufactured in the USA by Danelectro for the Sears exclusive “Silvertone” line of instruments, this guitar sports a Red Sunburst sparkle finish over the classic hollow Masonite and poplar body with a pair of “lipstick” single coil pickups. This guitar has a particularly cool hollow twang, with chiming top end and focused bass response, and the pickups have all the jangle, sparkle, and twang you’d expect from this little vintage wonder. Weighing only 6lbs 3oz (without the amp), the guitar has been professionally setup here at Mike and Mikes Guitar Bar with low, comfortable action. The Danelectro-made Silvertone guitars have been seen in the hands of artists such as Beck and the Rolling Stones, and in addition to being fun to play, they’re a great secret weapon for studio use. Outfitted with the original tube set, the amp fires up just as well as the day it left the factory, with a low noise floor and great class A tube tone. The neck has a fast and slender C profile with modest shoulder, measuring. 728 deep at the 1st fret and. 848 at the 12th. The frets are in great shape, with well-rounded crowns and their full factory height. The aluminum nut measures 1 5/8 in width, and aluminum further accentuates the top end sparkle and snap of the pickups. The stock Skate Key tuning machines turn smoothly and hold pitch well and the face of the headstock retains a near mint “Silvertone” script silkscreen. On the body, the original lipstick pickups and chrome bridge with Brazilian rosewood saddle are intact. The electronics are untouched, with the pots still surrounded by the original copper shielding tape and date codes from the 36th week of’64. The stock pickguard and stacked volume/tone knobs are present as well and bright white, and even the original ambered cable retainer is still screwed to the guard. The Red Sunburst sparkle finish is remarkably clean, original, and well cared for, with a vibrant fade from cherry to deep maroon on the edges of the body. There’s plenty of silver sparkles left on the finish too, and this is significant since the sparkles are on top of the finish and first to go. There is light, natural palm wear through the finish at the treble side edge of the profile behind the 1st fret, and only a few light scuffs and nicks on the guitar as a whole. The amplifier case is in good overall shape, with original wicker grillcloth, stock Jensen C8R speaker which dates to’64, and a control panel that retains the original knobs and vibrant silkscreen graphics. The Silvertone-branded tube compliment is entirely original, with an RCA-made 6V6 power tube and 6X4 rectifier, as well as two ECC83 Amperex valves, made in Holland. The dark gray sparkle case retains the original hinges and handle, and is structurally sound. There is some edge wear on the case corners, but nothing structural. The amp has a nice barking tone with a tremolo that delivers a strong chop, pairing ideally with the tonal range of the lipstick pickups. The original “doorstop” footswitch and 1/4 instrument cable are included. Check out our shop “Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, ” and please let us know if we can answer any questions!
