Does anyone have the dimensions (or better yet, plans) for a Sears Silvertone Twin Twelve 1484 2x12 speaker cabinet? We recently bought the head of this amp and want to make cabinet that looks like the original (even though finding the same tolex will be extremely difficult). We have looked everywhere for them online but no luck. We know that it has Jensen C12Q speakers in it and it is wired for 4 ohms output, but we want to know the exact dimensions if possible. If anyone has one and could measure it or has the measurements somewhere, it would be a great help. Thanks!!

I burned the coils on the speakers (Please don't ask)

That amp is great. Its great for small rooms. I plug my Stratocaster #0309 into both channels to get that early Marshall crunch w/o splitting anyones ear drums.

I bought the amp from the original owner in 1974

Great to hear the amp works well and sounds good. Old tube amps seem to be in demand these days. The new boutique stuff is pretty expensive, although the new technology is truly awesome, with a lot of flexibilty in tonal settings and modeling effects.

I recently restored a CMI Electronics SG-410 (c.a. 1973) that I bought new in 1976. The power tubes were a bit hard to find (two RCA 8417s) but I won an eBay auction for a decent price. Then I located a really good tube amp tech locally who went through the whole thing for almost nothing.

I play a Stat Plus Deluxe and a Les Paul Classic (I prefer the Strat, if you can believe that!) and I'm really enjoying the warm sound of the tube amp. I've been using a solid state Fender Stage 100 as a replacement (into two DT-412 cabs). It has tons of power, and Fender did a decent job of making it sound almost like a tube amp. But for home use why do I need to get knocked across the studio?

About the same era as the Silvertone, Wards (Airline) made some big cool-looking tube amps. I had the head from a GVC-9052 at the same time I had the 1484. I've been able to find pictures of both on the 'net (just for the sake of nostalgia).
