Sears 1346 combo

Post by M Fowler »

Finished up this old Silvertone 57H01346 Model 1346 two 12 combo.

Field coil speakers.

6SJ7, 4X6L6GC, 6SN7, 12SJ7 and 5U4GB tubes.

Two channel individual volume controls with master volume knob.
Very cool amp.

Cleaned all the pots and jack. New e-caps and vacuum mouse nest.
Cleaned up a wiring mess some had added a toggle switch on back panel then removed it but left the wires floating. So repaired the old wiring. Added 3 prong cord.

I love those old amps with the upper and lower chassis type thing!
When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car!

Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

I had to unsolder the cover on that control panel to access the pots and jacks but it was worth it to get them cleaned.

Amp sounded great for such an old thing. Yeah I could have replaced about 20 some old caps but decided to only replace the e-caps which were bulging.

The old AC cord was crumbling in my hands exposing bare wires inside the chassis.

This was enjoyable project.
