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 nice Epiphone All Tube Amplifier from the mid-1960's. I used to own one just like this many years ago and I liked is quite a bit - had its own unique tone. Not super loud so perfect for Bedroom or home studio. And this price is a good deal for an all original vintage USA made amp of this quality. Has the original speaker. Even a cap job and replaced 3 prong grounded cord.

condition: good make / manufacturer: Epiphone model name / number: EA-28RVT
Circa 1964-65 Epiphone Pathfinder EA-28RVT tube combo guitar amp. This is the same amplifier as the Gibson GA-19RVT Falcon. During the early to mid sixties these amps were all built at the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI. This one is a bit of a road warrior, with one knob missing, but is fully functional and sounds great. Tube reverb and tremolo circuits, very lush and deep sounding. 15 watts, original 12” Jensen speaker, original foot switch, original tubes except for two Mesa 6V6GTAs. It has had a cap job and a grounded three prong power cord installed. Really a sweet “around the house” amp for practice and recording.
This seller is clearly an expert and has posted a meticulous listing for this absolutely stunning vintage tube amp and speaker cabinet. These Bell & Howell Filmosound tube amps are considered by some to be the "cream of the crop" as far as build quality and components. In fact the tube complement, including the original British made 12AX7 Mullard tubes in this amp are worth a considerable small fortune on their own - let alone the rest of the perfectly matched and preserved ensemble. If you are anywhere near Lubbock TX and are looking for a nifty vintage tube combo with some serious MOJO, I recommend you check this listing out.
For sale is an early 1950s Bell and Howell Filmosound 15 watt all tube
amplifier featuring point to point wiring and 6V6 push pull circuitry
and a matching B&H Speaker cabinet with original Jensen 12" speaker
in amazing original condition. This classic combination includes the
very low hour amplifier extensively and professionally bench tested in
pristine original condition with no corrosion or damage of any kind. The
hand wired circuitry is all original with only the photo electronic
tube used in the original projector application removed for optimization
in use as a guitar microphone or instrument amp. The premium tube
compliment is all original B&H silkscreened logo tubes including two
6V6 output pentodes (with a third for screen voltage regulation) the
original RCA 5Y3 rectifier and 5879 dual element tube for voltage gain
and two matched B&H British Mullard 12AX7 dual triodes for the Class
A front end and driver stages. This amp can drive both 8 and 16 ohm
speaker cabs with plenty of clean power wide range tone control and
superb crunch when overdriven. I am an old retired recording studio
service calibration tech and can assure that the original circuitry
including capacitors resistors and wiring has never required repair of
any kind and the amp has not been unnecessarily tweaked modified or
otherwise altered by unskilled tube amp Guru wannabees. The very rare
early generation Tombstone Deco speaker cabinet has the original white
and burgundy felt B&H logo and grill in pristine condition with the
inner matching felt lining to the entire cab equally clean and nice. The
hinged back of the cab allows access to cable storage and is tight with
no unwanted vibration issues when used at full volume. The original
Jensen P12 Alnico 25 watt rated 16 ohm speaker is in mint condition with
complete B&H labeling and tan paint scheme to the frame and bell
housing with the date code showing it was manufactured the 9th week of
1952. The cone voice coil and spyder assembly are perfect and the
original B&H dedicated terminals are provided with a standard 1/4
inch phone jack lead to allow use of this cab with other tube amps. The
only cosmetic issue is the expected scuffs to the outer two-tone gray
paint of the cab which was the result of storage at times without the
included original B&H logo heavy quilted and padded cloth cover. 60+
years young and going strong this is a rare local opportunity to
acquire an authentic Boutique amp from the Golden era. For the guitar
player or blues harpist desiring this unique combo I am asking $225
CASH. This price is cash only and firm. Please be patient and I'll try
to answer email as quickly as possible. Thank you. If this ad is still
listed then it is still available so please don't email asking if it is
still available.
