got a Silvertone 1482 needing a little work..
I got this one locally and it is in great shape cosmetically. The owner put in a new baffle board and a new Hammond power transformer as well as a temporary hookup of filter caps. It has a hum in it so I am going to redo the filter caps with fresh ones and I found that the transformer is hooked up using the 5volt wires to the heaters instead of the 6.3 volt wires.
It played and sounded great, tremelow works too but blew a fuse then I discovered the wiring problem. I also got a Bell and Howell Filmosound amp chassis (uses 6v6gt tubes) and a homebrewed amp of some kind. If anyone has one of these open on the bench, I could use a good gut shot to make sure the wires for the caps are hooked up right. Thanks |

Man, that's a great amp. I've got one that I've had for 20-something years. A friend of my Dad's had it in his attic & gave it to me. It, also, is in need of quite a bit of TLC at this point. But, I can't wait to play through it again. The tremelo is sweet.
