it is 70 watts. it has 2 6v6 and 2 12ax7 and a 6au6 and a 6x4
its a model 1482

it was in a small cabinet with an 8 inch speaker.

i took the amp part out and am making a bigger speaker cabinet.

but this little amp rocks!

the question i have is does anyone know how old it is? or what years it was produced?

Quite a popular little Silvertone Amp I believe from the early 70's they come up on ebay regularly and go for anywhere 2-4 dollar range depending on
condition. you'll find lots of info there on that model. good luck

jeff, it is probably about 12-16 watts. i have one also and it screams. mine has a 12" speaker in it and it pushes that speaker quite well. prices have gone up since fender and marshalls are out of reach. vintage guitar magazine did a review of sears amps a while back. you may want to check their website. also, check "harpamps' in google as they have pictures of them in their gallery.
hope you enjoy the amp.
