I picked up this amp today from a dealer. The National model 22 looks similar, but I wonder if these may have been made by Danelectro.
Anyone know for sure?

No idea what it is but I thought for sure You were gonna rip a tele through it at the end! It is in remarkable shape inside and out. Each component lead is bent meticulously within a beautiful layout. Whoever designed this knew what they were doing. After a new cable and a new cathode bypass cap I'll push the Tele through it. |

After some research, it appears the schematic is that of a Supro S6616.

(Ba doom pish) - sorry, I get jokes like that thrown at me all the time by the effing millenials. |

They WERE possibly making a few amps that early but amps in those days amps generally looked like little suitcases with one or two knobs and a hole for a speaker.
The National company, of course, was around in the '30s, building resonator guitars. They were one of two companies founded by one or both of the Dopera brothers, known for the Dobro.
Millennials generally have a very poor grasp of historical timelines before the '70s.
I'm pretty sure that the National and Supro amps of that era were made by Valco.

Millennials generally have a very poor grasp of historical timelines before the '70s. They have a difficult time with history, period, and anything before 2000 is just beyond their grasp, hence the term 'millenial'. Luckily Gen-Z is back to normal. You are correct, from all my research and experience. |
