Vintage Tube Amp

Up for sale, a 1967 Silvertone model 1482 tube amp in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the full original Silvertone-branded tube set. With a 100% original circuit and a modern three-prong power cable, this Silvertone is ready for another 60 years! Manufactured by Danelectro in the USA, this amp is often referred to as the “poor man’s Deluxe” for its rich gain, touch-sensitive responsiveness, and 15 watt 6V6 push/pull tube power section, features which are all very reminiscent of the Tweed-era Fender Deluxe from the late’50s. This amp really does tap into what made Fender’s Tweed amps great, and at about 1/10th the price, the Silvertone 1482 is one of the best bargains on the vintage amp market. With simple controls for Volume and Tone for both the Mic and Instrument inputs, the amp also boasts a powerful bias-based tremolo circuit that has a great pulse and smooth waveform. The preamp is untouched, and the point-to-point, hand-wired circuit boasts the original capacitors, carbon comp resistors, and CTS pots which date to the late weeks of’66. Both of the original transformers are intact, and the amp is stocked with its original pair of Silvertone-branded 6V6 power tubes. A modern three-prong power cable has been installed, and the speaker is the original Fisher 12 alnico magnet driver, featuring a date code on the magnet bell from 1967. The original gray thatched covering is in good shape, with just a couple minor marks and one circular mark on the top of the enclosure. The original wheat grillcloth with sparkle thread is present, and the aluminum faceplate retains all of the original knobs and black silkscreen text.

Is what it is. We used to see these all the time in the pawn shops back in the late 80′s early 90′s and as guitar players we loved the fact that you could get them cheap. This one has the original 15 speaker which… Man has to be pushing 60 years old. The head comes out and must have a speaker cable (I think this is a mod from the original). All i know is that if you want a Nirvana sound… If you want loud tube crunch this can’t be beat.

Project amp I haven’t gotten around to. It needs at least a new power plug as it had a widowmaker currently. Cab has a new jensen.

When turned on the back light does indeed light up (see last picture). I don’t have anything to connect to it nor do I know anything about the piece. Original back piece, missing all The screws, but two. Please note darker area on left side of piece. Please let me know if you have any questions.
