Garage Sale Silvertone, Amp-in-case...lucky me.

Just picked this up as a garage sale. Model 1448 guitar and amp case... guitar almost virgin with just a few stains. Case has a couple of nicks, a cigarette burn and a hinge to be repaired. Amp powers up, but just hums.....

So, what's it work and is it worth taking to someone to fix the amp? Oh, btw, I get it for $ 15.

Awesome score. If you don't know much about Tube amps, don't go messing with it unless you want to go to the other side. :0 Take it to a good amp tech. Could be Tubes or output caps.

Just to finish the story. Bought it at a church yard sale. Priced at $25, gave them $100. Repairs cost $75. Had fun with it and passed it on for $400.

A vintage guitar found and saved.

Very cool find and nice save. We had one in a local shop a couple years ago, both guitar and amp/case in great shape. I told a buddy about it, and before I could make up my mind, he went and bought it.
