Silvertone organ amp

2/7/2001 6:20 PM
Mitch	Silvertone organ amp I bought a 60s silvertone organ amp off eaby for a decent price. This thing has a 12AX7 a 12AT7 and two 6Bq5/el84 with a 6ca4 rectifier tube. Looks like a good project amp to me but the 6Bq5 tubes are stamped as Silvertone with a top sideways flash and the round getter is at an angle to the flash. Bye chance does any one know what brand tubes silvertone used to use? The caps in this amp are the blue tube type fender use to use in the 60s. I am still debating on a good design to rebuild too? Maybe a Vox AC15 clone Cheers
