I placed an ad so long ago I had forgotten about it stating I'd like to purchase a Silvertone 1482. Some fella pinged me over the weekend and we met today. I think I did pretty good for 2 bills! I have missed having one of these since I sold mine to Joe Walsh a while back! I played it tonight and it sounds great!

Cool score. I remember the good old days when the regular going price for those amps was in the $75 range...those days are well behind us!

However they are bringing more than 2 bills most days so you got a deal for sure!

I know, right! It is sorta silly to be bragging about a cool score at this price, but hey, these days it is a deal. I do have to wonder what the deal with the diamond-cut baffles as opposed to these round-cut ones. I suppose nothing but the obvious. This one sounds just like the others I have heard.

Speaking of Joe Walsh....I ran into him at Guitar Center on Saturday, and only exchanged a few words, but wish I'd had the opportunity to really talk. I would have mentioned your amp, but forgot what it was you'd sold him.

Ah bummer! That would have been cool. Just remember it was a Silvertone 1482 rehoused in a custom pine cab with a Weber Alnico Blue speaker.

That's cool.

Jeesus, that ****ty old stuff has gone up so much just over the past 10 to 12 years. I don't believe what crap like Silvertones, Kays, Danelectros, Harmonys, Stellas, and various Japanese-made **** sell for now. At least you can still find it for reasonable prices sometimes.

The Silveretone looks like a 60's/70's record player with out the turntable.
