This amp is really old, leather handle - its not made of composite board like the DanElectro makes. its wood and plywood & it has a tapered shape, larger at the bottom. Some doofus painted it black and ruined the originality of the finish. Anybody know who else made early, early Silvertones?? It has 6L6s I think, I will double check later. Features are bare-bone - three inputs all channeled the same place, two instrument, one mic (maybe a little hotter). All the knobs were missing. it has a Tone control and the red indicator lamp doesnt work.

I played a Telecaster through it, would probably have more umph with some hotter pickups/humbucks. Sounds good, big speaker for the cab size. only about 3-5w though, basically clean with a little grit at full gain. Decent Practice amp.

I bought it used at the flea market for $5. It worked when I got it home and really did not expect it to from the looks of it. After 40 yrs and still ticking Id say its pretty reliable.

This amp is mostly likely older than me and im in my early 40's. I think it may be one of the first Silvertones from Sears - (it has a Sears & Robucks badge) but not sure. I have been looking on the Web, eBay, etc and havent seen or heard of another one like it, I was hoping someone would know more. I think its a fairly rare amp, but???
