The 1451 amp was unique in many ways. Its model number didn't really jibe with the family of amps it was part of, its brass logoplate on many of the examples was from the 143X family of upcoming amps, its brown with gold fleck paint job was exclusive to the 1451, and it was never listed in any major seasonal catalog. I believe it was a 'Wish Book only' model, much as the 1389 was, but I don't have a Wish Book listing to confirm it. Got one? Send it!


Introduced:
195? as the 1451, I guess. Price can be estimated from the other amps similar to it, the 1330/90/1430, which was $22-24.95 during the period '56-'59.
