There's always something special about a great find, and a find in such great condition is extra special.
This two-channel Danelectro tube amp has a very Vox AC15-like quality. As one Another person on the wide world of guitar forums said: " I recently got to play one and I think I'm in love with it."
You can hear a good demo of that luscious tone in the YouTube demo (not of this amp, but the same model), so here's the rest of the skinny.
The vibrato and reverb are both on the second channel, and deliver beautiful depth and character. The 25 watts through the Jensen Special Design 12" speaker (original) is mighty loud when dimed, and cuts through like a bell even at lower volumes.
The amp is deceptively small, and the head can stow away in the back for easy hauling. It's also not very heavy so should also be reasonable to ship. Moreover, it is just supremely clean all around, including a lovely grill with that great Dano script logo.
It still has the two-prong cord -- which should be changed for a three-pronger -- and the amp head connects directly to the speaker rather than via a 1/4" input.
I'm already wary that I might never see one of these Neptune, NJ -built classic in this kind of condition again. But The Swede and I are on a mission to get these sorts of wonders into the hands of players.

About Automatic JackAs with all the axes in the
Automatic Jack Shack,
the Swede -- my guitar craftsman and collaborator in gear -- has
given this his full treatment, checking, fixing and optimizing all the
electronics, hardware and functionality from headstock on down. Of
course, our vintage is
old stuff, so bear in mind that many of
our listings are for 30-40+ year-old instruments, with the typical kind
of wear and quirks that comes with that. Vintage gear tends to be
imperfect and in need of ongoing care. We are dedicated to delivering
the most playable, high-quality and modestly-priced guitars and gear we
can. But we are players and people. We want to offer great deals and
deal with great people.
