Rare Vintage Danelectro Challenger Series D Model 89 Tube Guitar Amp 15 Speaker
Danelectro Series D, Model 89 (Master) Tube Amp. All original except tubes and some capacitors. This amp was made to be used with an optional “slave” amp but functions independently as well. A previous owner attached a “MASTER” nameplate (see photo). There are some “nail polish” setting marks on the control panel which a previous owner applied. Amp works fine, including tremolo, but it has a fixed low level hissing/spitting sound at any volume setting, with or without input signal. 15 Utah Speaker: Cone is marked 10675441? ; Frame is marked V15M1 and 328625. Note: When playing a guitar through the amp at higher volume and increased bass there is a distinct buzz which is cancelled by physical pressure applied to the chassis. It is not a speaker problem – it is purely mechanical which can likely be resolved by tweaking the chassis mounting. I mention this because I don’t want the new owner to think it is a speaker or electronic problem. Original canvas cover is in poor condition but could serve as a pattern to make a new one. Leather handle appears original and is in very good usable condition. No foot switch included. See photos for overall item condition. Inspect all photos closely – they are an integral part of the description. Items are for sale to buyers in the Continental United States (48 states) only.
