Silvertone World - Amplifiers - 1960s

The 1473 was a close cousin to the 1472/82 and he 1484/85 'TV' model amplifiers, but still totally unique in the Silvertone line. Nicely spec'd for a portable compact bass amp; 25 watts of power, so it could hold down the bottom pretty well, 15 inch speaker, 4 inputs and 2 channels.

Seldom seem, super rare.

Fall/Winter 1961 at $99.95
as the 57G1473L

Retired:
Fall/Winter 1962 at $99.95
