Silvertone 1396 - Channel 1 preset

Verified · 88/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Silvertone 1396 (chassis 185.10500) is Sears' big two-channel tube amp. Each channel has three instrument-or-mic inputs, half of a 12AX7, and its own Bass, Treble and Volume on a remote preamp panel. A second 12AX7 and a 6SN7GT phase inverter drive four 6L6s push-pull, split across two output transformers each feeding its own 8-ohm speaker. A 6AU6 tremolo has Strength and Speed with a footswitch, and a 5U4 rectifies.
