Vintage Tube Amp

Up for sale, a 1966 Silvertone model 1484 “Twin Twelve” piggyback tube amplifier, fully serviced and complete with the original Jensen C12Q speaker pair and full compliment of vintage USA-made tubes. Manufactured by Danelectro in the USA and marketed through Sears via their house brand “Silvertone, ” the 1484 was one of the top-tier department store amps of its day, and also an amp that’s found favor with todays players including Jack White and Beck. The 1484 “Twin Twelve” has an extremely smooth and rich breakup, with warm clean tones at low volumes that give way to a touch of tube overdrive at roughly half volume, and reach full tube saturation with a touch of compression anywhere beyond 7 on the dial. Both channels feature a pair of inputs (high and low) and both channels share the built-in Reverb and Tremolo effects. While the Tremolo has a nice strong pulse that gets quite thick and deep, the Reverb is infamous in its own right for its thin, trashy sound that’s perfect for lo-fi and surf tunes, with a unique gain structure and chiming top end character. The circuit has been serviced with just a few new signal caps in the preamp as needed, and the power supply has been rebuilt with all new electrolytics as well, with a modern three-prong power cable installed as well as a conventional 1/4 female jack on the head for ease of use with other cabinets. The original power transformer is intact, and the output transformer is a modern, factory-spec replacement. The original CTS pots date to the 17th week of 1966, and the speakers are the original pair of C12Q Jensen 12 drivers which date to the 21st week of’66. The tube compliment includes a matched pari of small bottle GE 6L6s, along with the matched set of original Silvertone-branded preamp tubes, manufactured by the likes of RCA and Amperex. All of the original barrel knobs are intact on the polished aluminum faceplate, which also retains all of the original black silkscreen text. The original gray textured covering and gold sparkle grillcloth are intact. The cabinets show some modest edge wear, particularly on the speaker cab, yet the grillcloth has plenty of sparkle in the thread, and both the head and speaker cab are structurally sound. This amp is gig-ready and fully serviced for optimal performance and longevity. Check out our shop “Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, ” and please let us know if we can answer any questions! We use double thick boxes, 1″ foam, and industrial 1/2″ bubble wrap to ensure that your amp arrives safely.

Vintage Silvertone 1333 Tube Type Guitar Amp 1956. I received this amp several years ago and it has set in my office since then. This must have been a barn find for someone, because it was exposed to moisture. The cabinet is very solid tho discolored. The speaker has some rust on the frame and parts of the chassis has some corrosion on it. I took the chassis out and it looked like previous work had been done with wrong value parts put in it. I’m sending the schematic with the amp. It shows all values and voltage test points. I recapped it using new tested caps. Three for the filter section, a couple of 25uf at 35 volts, a. 5 cap, and several resistors. No other cap were replaced. I sprayed the pots with DeOxit. I fixed the 6X5GT socket as one of the rivets broke so it is now screwed in. I replaced the power cord with a 3 prong grounded cord. I put a new leather (time period correct) handle on it. The feet were missing so I put on 4 new feet. I then gave it a gentle wipe down, nothing serous. The knobs for tremelo control were missing so I will put something similar on it. The cabinet is a little scuffed up. There is a Silvertone badge on the grill and the grill cover is not torn. None of the tubes were any good and so I put in a really nice set of tubes. The 6SC7GT is a bit rare as the base says it is a 6SU7WGT and the glass says it’s a 6SC7GT. It tests as a new 6SC7GT so it is going with the amp just because it sounds so good. Next I put it back together and turned it on with the volume turned down and went and got a guitar while it was warming up. When I got back, I put my ear by the speaker and heard nothing. I turned the volume up and heard what I hoped to hear, barley nothing. I plugged the guitar in, turned the volume up a little and this amp sounds great with lot of volume, tone and very quiet. The controls are very quiet as they are turned. The tremolo however is not working. The pictures tell the rest of the story and are part of the cosmetic description so please take a close LOOK at them. You will receive the item(s) pictured. This will be expertly packed with foam in place packs to help insure a safe arrival. The tubes will be placed in tube boxes and stored in the cabinet to protect them. We don’t mess around. We use new boxes and bubble wrap for packing. This leaves no mess in your office and you can just toss them when cleaning up. I will strive for positive five-star feedback from you by describing the item accurately, packing item so it will arrive safely and then sending you the tracking information when the item ships all of which we will do.

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!
