Can you identify this Silvertone?

Post by FunkyE9th »

I'm trying to ID my friend's amp and hopefully find a schematic for it. Do you know what this is? It's supposed to be a Silvertone. The closest thing I can find is the 1485, but the tube and tranny layout is different.

Thanks.

Forgot to add..it says Model 62 9052 on the front, but I cannot find any info online about it. Not really even sure if it's a Silvertone.

That model number: Model 62 9052 looks more like the numbering scheme for Montgomery Wards amps. I have one, and have worked on others, that started with 62, followed by a four digit number.

That having been said, many of the Wards Airlines were made alongside their Silvertone and Supro cousins by Valco and other makers. That amp you have there is cool with the dual output sections.

I think you are correct that it's an Airline amp. I saw a few Airline model numbers online with 62-9xxx. Unfortunateky not 62 9052. :evil: At least now I know to search under airline/wards instead of Silvertone. Thanks!

Looks Airline to me---there was usually a paper label glued to the back of the chassis that fell off
