Description Brand: Sears Silvertone Model: 1462 Exact Year: 1960 Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
1960s Sears Silvertone 1482 Model. In great condition. One owner. All tubes intact. Plays with perfect sound. Reverb describes this amp this way:"Two 6v6 Power Tubes, Two 12ax7 Preamp Tubes, 1x12" SpeakerThe 1482 might be the most popular of the whole series featuring two 6v6 power tubes in a push/pull configuration and a 12" Fisher made speaker. There's a pair of 12ax7s powering the preamp as well as a 6au6 powering the rich, deep tremolo circuit. The 1482 was the only amp in the series with a vertically mounted chassis which allowed for those cool, tv-style cosmetics. This amp is often compared to the brown face Fender Deluxe however it's a completely different animal tonally. It's voiced a bit darker and seems to break up a bit earlier than a Deluxe from the same time period. The drive is more similar to a narrow panel tweed Deluxe."
