  • Silvertone 1482 Tremolo Help

    Quite the coincidence that I have another Silvertone amp with a non working Tremolo.

    Schematic attached. I have check every resistor and pot in the tremolo circuit. Everything appears correct. There is no roach in this one. Not sure what to try next.

    Thank you!

    This tremolo works by bias shift modulation of the power tubes.
    Check for pulsing voltage at the LFO plate. If not - replace tube.

      Replaced tube did not change condition, no pulsing voltage. Started to probe voltages at the 6AU6A and tremolo started working. In the end, I tensioned and better cleaned the tube sockets and tube pins. Tremolo is working!

      Thank you
