Title: wanted Danelectro 299 E
Post by: ernest on April 05, 2017, 08:04:51 am
I'm going to be picking up this amp later today I found on craigslist.  It's a Danelectro model 299 series E Twin Twelve.   I've only been able to find a couple photos of this amp online and no schematic.  Would anyone know if this is the same as the model 300 or the same a the Silvertone 1484 twin twelve?

I am wondering if the Twin 15 is the same amp?

I looked at this yesterday and wondered the same...I guess I'll find out later today when I pick it up.  I'm not even sure exactly what tubes are in it.  thanks!

The DanElectros and Silvertones had a lot of similarity from model to model.  Maybe it's the same or similar enough for that schematic to be useful?

When you get the amp, please post a good photo of the control panel and list the tubes that it has in it.  That will go along way in figuring out what schematic may be close.

I think that Twin 15 schematic will prove to be reasonably accurate.

please see attached - looks similar both the upper and lower chassis. . mine was a 15" and had two jacks for slave amps - it was called the "panoramic". it looks like yours uses the 6FQ7 for the PI, the model 89 i had used a 6SN7 for the PI - same tube different package. the schematics provided were reverse engineered by me. sold it to a blues nut for less than i paid for it...shame on me.

seems that photophuckit deleted all my pics i had of it. haven't been there in a couple of years, so no wondering why...
