Telecaster bridge > Airline Amp with Channel A cranked up (it's loud / both channels sond the same).
lol i swear it sonds x10 better IN REAL LIFE.

Dudes. I'm borrowing this Airline amp. It's from THE 60'S (oooh mojoarrows) and it has two channels (A & B) with VIBRATO. He has some skankydank speaker in it right now but says he'll put the good one in if I decide to buy it. But it sounds good already so I'm excited to hear it with the good speaker (i think a celestion vintage 10). It sound pretty BITCHIN' and I'm currently trying to figure out how much it's worth.... will keep update.

INFO I HAS FOUND:
10w
"Two 6V6's for power, two 12AX7's for the pres, and a 6AU6 rectifier tube."
These were either made by Montgomery Ward / Valco / or Danelectro. Sold under Airline, Danelectro, and Silvertone. ooohah




















The dude I'm borrowing this from just picked up a 1959 Gibson Explorer amp for fucking $400. I'm talking about the little amp that came with the Explorer guitar. Fucking $400 straight up. No shit. My mind is fucking BLOWN. It looked at it and it's in fucking sweet shape, just has dust on it. I can't even believe it

Stories like that keep me in the gear game. So far my old marshall and les paul were the best deals I've gotten, but I can tell someone's gonna fuck up big time and give me something even sweeter for even less one of these days. It happens to everyone once in awhile.

I played all my guitars on the Airline and it's pretty bitchin'.
I really want to try it with the better speaker, i can kinda hear this one flubbing out like the speakers in the Hot Rod Deluxes do. ewwwww.


Dude, i seriously don't know how the hell he got that Gibson amp. Said the guy was getting a divorce and just sold it cheap. BAD MOVE.

Don't change the speaker, if it doesn't need to be changed.

Holy crap! That thing must be worth a mint. I guess the guy selling it had never heard of ebay!

It's already been changed, he just put the one that's in right now so it would have something in it. But it is flubby.

Dude, i can't even afford one speaker.
I've been running my halfstack cab with only two working speakers and they suck shitass.
The plan was to get some Vintage 30's in it, but everything's so expensive.

Well true enough. Old speakers sound great anyway. the one in my beat SS combo turned into a cab sounds brilliant.
