Found a beater "non working" 1492 near my office on CL for $195.

Fastest fix ever....just had to re-attach one of the speaker wires.

Before rehab

All stock.





After rehab

New grounded power cord, ANOS RCA gray plate 6V6GT's, ANOS Sylvania 12AX7's, new 3/8" birch ply speaker baffle board, Weber Sig 12A speaker, replaced bad pot on MIC channel, installed jacks on both the 4 ohm and 8 ohm OT taps for more flexibility.



I've been having a lot of fun with this little screamer lately. It's become the heart of a perfect little back seat grab & go rig.

Nice, man. DIY is way betters than using shit as is from the store

Pretty cool! Great find! I'm really curious to hear one of those in person sometime.

They are awesome. Here is a tone compilation I put together with my two 1482's. Please excuse the poor production. I don't have all of the fancy recording gear guys have around here. I just used a SM57 and a Jamman looper pedal to do the recordings and strung them all together.

Man, that sounds killer! Love both the clean and grind!

They are a lot of fun and definitely capture that small tube amp on the edge of meltdown vibe we've all heard on so many classic rock tracks.
