1951 / 1952 Danelectro Twin Twelve / Silvertone 1346 Innards
« on: August 24, 2012, 01:19:19 pm »
Dear All,

I have just bought an old Danelectro Twin Twelve Series C:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Danelectro-Twin-Twelve-Series-C-vintage-tube-amp-/221091888945?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337a1a7f31

I have trawled the web and found over the years a couple of other owners asking for schematics and information, and there clearly is no schematic available.  I have contacted these posters and those who have posted pictures of their amps on other sites all to no avail.

I would like to ask if there are any owners out there who would be willing to take some photos of the guts.  My amp is with a tech and he said that it has been messed around with enough to make it a pain to be sure of getting right.  

I am sure that the Danelectro-branded Twin Twelve is the same as the Silvertone-branded 1346, so owners of either of these amps I would be very grateful if you could contact me at danelectrotwintwelve@hotmail.co.uk or a PM through the forum.

FWIW my amp is actually from late 1951 and has field coil 12" speakers.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.  Just to say that we can of course find the readily available later Twin Twelve schematics (e.g. Silvertone 1396), but this amp is not the same.  So far we think the 2x6L6 Silvertone 1344 scematic which is available (also 1951-ish) is the closest we can get...so ideally we now need photos of the innards.  I have contacted Tiny_Daddy  who started a similar thread last year.

Yes, thanks.  There is no schematic anywhere.  We are definitely at the stage of needing someone with the same amp willing to take and share some snaps.  I have low expectations because these are rare.
