This would be a great amp to pair with that Silvertone Silhouette and have an awesome all original Vintage setup for $1000 total. I used to own one of these and they are a blast - and they do get loud. Just don't expect to lug it and toss it around carelessly at every crappy bar and club and expect the cabinet to hold up perfectly. That said I've seen plenty of alternative / Indie bands with these amps on stage and they rock the house.
SILVERTONE 1484 - $500 (Napa County)
It all works fine. The 2 12" speaker cabinet totally rips from every amp I've ever tried them on.
Accoerding to this seller the amp works. Sounds like it just needs a little tune up/ cleaning. If you are in the Twin Cities area you may already be on to of this one. LOL. Might even be worth making the trip. 1484's are great Danelectro made amps. A lot of fun and some have even used them onstage (i.e. Jack White). The cabinets are always the weakest part - that and the flimsy reverb units.
Sears Silvertone Guitar Amp - $100 (Vadnais Heights)
800 county road e east
(google map)
Works. Needs some TLC.
No speakers in cab. I tested on another cabinet and head works and is loud. All pots could use a cleaning and sometimes play quiter until knob is tapped.
Reverb was not working with switch or other switch. Though I can hear slight reverb, it's just not getting through amp.
Has new old stock pair of matched russian 6L6GC tubes.
Back needs a jack for speaker connection. Has just 2 bare speaker wires coming out from back. Both sides work.
Cases are in rough used condition.
Comes with rare original pedal.

This seller is offering a 50+ year old Silvertone U-1 made by Danelectro. This one looks mostly original save the Vol and Tone control knobs which can be found and replaced if you are so inclined. That said, the value of these old Danelectro's is not so much in their 100% original condition (unlike a Fender or Gibson) but in their playability and tone if they have been maintained well over the years. People don't hang Danelectro's on their wall to admire - they play 'em, sometimes damned hard! I've seen several Indie and Alt Country guitarists over the years grab one of these U-1's off a stand and unleash monster licks wit a slide.

Vintage Late 1950s Silvertone Danelectro U1 Guitar - $375
For sale is a late 1950s Silvertone Guitar made by Danelectro, U1
guitar. These guitar are becoming more and more difficult to find,
especially ones in good, playable shape. This specific guitar is (in my
opinion) perfectly aged, showing some gorgeous wear from a life of
playing, but still in great working shape. Great jazz or blues guitar
(it makes a stellar slide guitar). Tone & Volume pots have been
professionally cleaned up and work with no glitches, playing through the
single lipstick pickup. Original hardshell case comes with it,
including the original cord sold with these guitars and a vintage tuner.
A true piece of American music history.
