Super Nice 1966 Silvertone Model 1484.......The Amp that Launched a Thousand Careers

Today's long-overdue video features an immaculate, basically original 1966 Silvertone 1484, quite possibly the most popular large "affordable" amp ever made. Unlike the previous large Silvertone's I have featured, this 60 Watt version (using 6L6GC's) was never inhabited by mice with overactive kidneys :) We will examine every part of the cabinet and circuit, make necessary repairs, install vintage tubes, check the bias, and then perform a thorough audio check.....giving us the opportunity to hear what this famous amp sounded like, back in "the day". To maintain authenticity, the test guitar will be a vintage Silvertone from the same era as the amp. In addition, with KC and Jack's assistance, we will open a very appropriate gift box from a viewer, and then go outside to perform an elaborate conversion on a 1930 chopped and channeled Ford coupe.....removing the boring old 4-barrel and installing 3 Stromberg 97 carbs. There is something for everyone in this video. We hope you enjoy it :) Here is the link to become a patron of our channel:   / uncledougsvintageamps   or you can make a PayPal donation to: [email protected]. Thanks in advance :)
