1945 Kay by John Meck - Pinned
Beautiful Art Deco amp features 2 6V6, 6SL7, 6SJ7 into a 12″ Utah. 2 instrument inputs, 1 mic input, separate volumes, 1 tone control. Throwing in a photo that will be familiar to most, makes me wonder if Pirates of the Caribbean makers saw one of these. It is spot on. This chassis was also used by them in making the Silvertone 1306.
1960 Magnatone 280 High Fidelity
I love Magnatones and had a 280 High Fidelity at the top of my list. But they run north of $2,200 these days, so I figured that wasn't happening. Then I got a message from a guy who said he liked my collection and was clearing out his. He offered this very clean and already updated amp to me for $1,400 "because it belongs there". What a guy! He had other vintage that I liked, but not the prices. Ended up with 2 of them anyway because my friend Tieler Shellington, @The_Basement_Detroit on instagram bought the rest of his amps and flipped 2 to me at much better prices. The world is wonderful! Stereo amp, 2 OTs, 4 6973, True Vibrato, Reverb, original speakers. Erik Gustafson and Ray Kaan on the demos.
1968 Fender Dual Showman - Blackline, actual Blackface.
Found the head cheap on eBay, found the cab locally. Home Depot truck for $20. Reconed the D130s, age and use. Black lines on the panel meant that this amp was still a blackface circuit. Not utterly reliable as, waste not, want not, they used up all of the plates, many on Silverface. This one is Blackface. More than loud enough to bring in the police in short order if you turn it up.
1947 Gibson BR-4
1947 Gibson BR-4 and it still has its teeth. 2 6V6, original 12", mic channel is hotter, amp drives quickly.
1941 Oahu 385K Melody Master
1941 Oahu Melody Master 385K set. Saw a photo of the amp, looked for a few years. Curiously, I ended up buying this from a Vintage King employee 2 miles away.
2 6V6, original 8" field coil speaker, perloid acetate in a neat color that changes depending on the light. And no, they definitely don't make them like this anymore.
1946 Silvertone 1306
A very rare 1946 Silvertone 1306, thanks to a tipster. 2 6V6 and it is the same chassis Radionic used to make this no name/number Kay.
A rare 1946 Silvertone 1306, thanks to a tipster. Made by Radionic with the same chassis they used on the Kay seen at the end. 2 6V6.
1939 Vega Model 180
1939 Vega Model 180. 2 6L6, original 12" Jensen field coil speaker. After cleanup and the last 2 shots are as purchased, already updated. That is a built-in red cloth pocket for the power cord. Tasty smooth cleans from the instrument channel, a good bark from the mic channel. Old Vegas are great amps.
Sasha Kashperko - L, on the 180. Vlad Tovbin - R, on the 1949 Vega Triumphal. 2 6L6, 12' field coil. Instrument channel on both. Sasha and Vlad are 2/3 of the Eastside Gypsies.
Erik Gustafson, drive demo of the much hotter mic channel.
1951 Gibson GA-75W
1951 Gibson GA-75W. 2 6L6, original 15". Nice cleans, big bark.

1947 Knight 7S PA
1949 Knight 7S PA. Literally bought it because it is cute. Everyone who sees it says cute or adorable. Single 6L6G for 9 watts. Check the height on that 6SC7. Volume is a split pot, left for microphone, right for turntable. Not really a clean tone amp. Fine with me, probably kills for harp, too. Last photo is funny to me as my posts are the source of the ai comment.

1948 INTERNATIONAL PROJECTOR CORP. NP-30 PA
Late 40s/early 50s International Projector Corporation NP-30 projector amp. 2 metal 6L6, single channel. Original chassis indicates they used the same chassis for 2 or more amps. 6J7, 6SN7 and a smoker BBQ style ventilation lid. Purchased from Tieler Shellington @The_Basement_Detroit on Instagram. He knows what I like!

1943 Ampro PA4 Projector Amp
1943 Ampro PA4 projector amp. 2 6L6, the best hammered paint finish that I have seen and the control panel alone was enough for me to buy it. What a design.

Erik Gustafson running wild!
1940 Thordarson PA
Only names are on the transformers. 2 7C5 for 11 watts, nice cleans and gnarly. Bought it for the look, something I highly recommend prior to 1956 and especially in the 1930s and 40s. The usual G12H and Greenback cab.

1966 Supro Statesman S6699 by Valco
Found this on Marketplace, drove from Detroit to an hour south of Nashville for it. Why? Rule 1: Will I find a cleaner one? No, and the price was good, so I bought it. Also came with the 2 pedals and a pile of cords. Not a great ad for point to point, but the sound is outstanding.

1958 Silvertone 1392
Handsome combo featuring 2 6V6, tremolo, 12″ speaker, Instrument/Mic channels/Volumes, original foot pedal. Tasty sound, mic channel is more aggressive.

1930s DeVry Chicago Amplifier
This is a suitcase projector amplifier from the 1930s, the Grandfather of all the Bell and Howell projector amps you see being converted to guitar amps. 2 6L6, original field coil speaker, huge transformers, heavy duty steel frame - weighs 45 pounds! Delightful cleans, really gets it when cranked.

1964 Ampeg Super Echo Twin ET-2-B
This is a true stereo amp with 2 different Reverberocket II amps inside, reverb and tremolo. 2 channels with separate mono inputs and a stereo input. 4 7591A tubes, 2 per amp for 15 watts/side 30 in mono. 2 original Jensen C12Qs. Lots of tonal setups available. This amp is the amplified definition of "Lush". Cover is mint and clean, just the way it reflects light.

1947 Masco MA-25 PA Head
2 6L6, 2 channels, Volume on each, 1 tone, 2 speaker jacks. Sparkling cleans at low to medium volume, huge fuzz when dimed. Who needs a pedal? 2 videos follow, Ben Wright - dimed with P90s and Erik Gustafson clean and dirty with Gretsch Dynasonics.
