These amps were contracted out by Sears to Valco, Danelectro, Harmony, and others. They wanted them as cheap as possible, so "value engineering"' came into play. Most had a fixed speaker pig tail with a 1/4 plug hanging on the end. Many times the output transformer was just big enough, just. They were good intro level amps.

While it is truly amazing that these capacitors still meet spec, we know that the paper capacitors are going acidic and the electrolytic ones are drying out. They may work now, but soon, this amp will be back on the bench to finish the recap. What is the point of keeping it original for may 2 or 3 more years...seriously we know these will fail and after 65 years this will be sooner, not later. Also the bias on the output tube should always be measured, as they were frequently set way too high. This was because a 6V6 could be had for three dollars back in the day. Now that good ones cost $47, it is worth the trouble to set it to the value in the tube manual. Even if this amp is seldom played, the "oh F---"moment when you plug it up, to show it off to a friend and the filters short and the fuse pops, is not worth it!

Wonder if you know Dave Hirsh from New Jersey? He's like the go-to amp tech guy here. A great character and extremely knowledgeable, his shop is up in Whippany. I was last there a few years ago with issues with a 5150. There's just one small path to the front counter and the back room and the rest of the place is just filled with amps from floor to ceiling. Took him a month to finally fix my amp, not just because he was bombarded with work but because he loves to talk to anybody that comes in and doesn't give himself enough time to actually work lol. He'd be great for one of these interviews. I believe he used to work for Fender prior to opening up his own shop.

I've been playing for 51 years myself and my first amp was a mono block hifi that my dad built in 1955. I got my first 100w Marshall stack in 1978 and I was a;ready obsessed with rolling tubes by then. At my age I obviously have learned to maintain my arsenal of heads myself to a certain extent but I have to leave it the dedicated authoritarians like Colleen if I am to be so lucky. I can stand and play to a packed crowd here in Memphis but I'm too shy to ask her to fix my Silvertone. Haha
