Vintage 1965 Silvertone Sears/Danelectro) 1483 Head with Cabinet, used.
Wonderful condition for a 61 year old. Amp sounds awesome.
Head has been recapped and has also had a 3 prong ac power cord installed.
Death cap has also been removed.
Pot date codes: 137-6517
Pots and jacks have all been cleaned and lubed with Deoxit.
There is the usual chassis tarnishing, but not too bad. I guess you could spend some time cleaning it up but it is so slight, that it never bothered me.
Tubes:
Rectifier: 5Y3-Vintage Silvertone (RCA)
Power Tubes: 2 x 6L6GC - Vintage Westinghouse
Pre-amp tubes: 1 x 6FQ7 Silvertone and 2 x 12AX7's - 1/Sovtek, 1/Older Silvertone
Original Power and Output transformers.
Speaker: 1965 Jensen 15", model C15P. Date code 220517
The original speaker cord from the amp has been replaced with a 1/4" jack.
The speaker cabinet has a 1/4" plug on the end.
The Choke has been removed from the speaker cabinet, but it (and the 2 mounting screws) will be included. The choke was used to filter some frequencies for use with bass, but is undesired for guitar players. It can be re-installed for playing bass.
The speaker cabinet includes an older cover which has shrunk a bit in height over the last 25 years that I have had this unit.
There is a very slight "cabinet buzz" when the head sits on the cab, but when the head is removed from the top of the cabinet, it stops.
Unit weighs 51 lbs, unpacked.

FEEDBACK:
I take all of my auctions and payments received, along with customer satisfaction, very seriously and I strive to make every auction simple, fun and painless to the successful bidder. Since eBay has recently changed their feedback policy, especially the Seller feedback placed by the Buyer, it has now become even more important, to facilitate a highly positive environment for both the Buyer and the Seller, as I have always felt this to be necessary, so I now will ONLY leave reciprocating, positive feedback for the Buyer, upon my successful receipt of positive feedback, left for me by the satisfied, winning Buyer. NO EXCEPTIONS!
