Silvertone 1448L Saugus Swapmeet Special



Jon's mom nabbed him this beauty at the Swapmeet, allegedly for $5.

When Jon got himself a real guitar, he passed it on to me;
still wondering what I did to piss him off that week.

An untunable piece of Danelectro detrius, but I learned a few chords.

When I returned from Alaska, the masonite top was split off the poplar body, so I hauled it to the dump out there off Hwy 126.

Next week, saw one in a guitar shop on Sunset selling for $400.
A nice one posted here last year on craigslist with Case/Amp for $500.

Still have the amp, working on all the original Silvertone tubes.
If I ever figure out what speaker to hook it to, it could be a howler.
