Title: Silvertone 1343
Post by: Dan on November 06, 2016, 07:26:01 am

Picked up a Silvertone 1343 amp and having trouble finding a schematic.  Anyone out there have one or can point me to one? It is a 5 tube amp and the 1342 is not at all like it.
Thanks in advance.

Does it look like this 1343? I count 6 tubes. You may have to draw a schematic for it.

If you can find a chassis number try searching for that.

Hi
I looked at a Silvertone 1342, on the Net,  some while ago and its a 5 tube amp.
Silvertone 1343, from what I came up with, is a 1342 with tremolo
What tubes do you have in your amp ?

Sorry, after taking a second look a my photos the 1343 I have does have 6 tubes.
It also is like the one shown above and has a tremolo switch.
So no known schematic out there on the 1343?

What tubes are in your 1343? It's possible that it may have been built by Danelectro or Valco and there may be another schematic that is very close. I've found another 6 octal tube amp that may be close but need to know which tubes you have.

Is something wrong with your amp? You may not need a schematic to fix a lot of problems. You can also draw your own schematic.

Yes we did find this 1333 Schematic and it's close to ours 1343 but not exact.  We are using this schematic and trying to work around the problems.
Thanks again to all that posted on this question.

As the 1333 schematic is prably very close to the 1343, report on it the differences, I'll redraw the whole schematic of the 1343 for you
