GONE: Mid-'60s Sears-Silvertone 1481, Champ-type 1x8 single-ended 6V6 combo, £195

I have another one of these and it's an absolute Champ-killer, best single-ended amp I've ever heard. Bought this one just to pilfer the Jensen speaker and back plate, so it goes up for sale with an Eminence and an open back.

One 12AX7, one 6V6, one 6X4 rectifier. Simple hand-wired circuit, made by Danelectro in the mid-1960s. 

It's in full working order but going cheap because it could do with a service - it's much less gainy and more noisy than my other 1481. Also that original two-prong power cable should really be updated. 

Collection from London area for now; will open up to postage if I don't get any interest. 

Might be open to pedal trades/part-ex.

Edited for price - now even more bargainy. A hand-wired American vintage amp for less than £200, c'mon!

Is it US voltage only?

dickieguitar

Yep, you'll need a step-down transformer.

dickieguitar

Someone, surely? 

thecolourbox

Sorry but it's the voltage thing that has stopped me, hopefully though there are people for whom that's no issue - good luck with the sale

I really want this, but alas cash poor. Snowed under with awesome neck and bodies though if you're into parts guitars?

Interesting looking amp.  Pedal trades, huh?  Fancy this idiosyncratic beastie?  http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/115118/dr-no-effects-alain-johannes-11-11-fuzz-wah-reduced-crazy-bargains-much-cheapness#latest

@thecolourbox - ta.

@rexter - sorry, I like my guitars whole.

@JerkMoans - hmm, maybe, let me sleep on that.

Gone, traded with @JerkMoans.
