Default Re: Convert Vintage Valve Radio to Guitar Amp

I had a badly modified sobell 439 too far gone to restore and have converted it into little practice amp using parts from a 50s hmv ac only radio. I used a modern car radio speaker spaced so the cone doesn't hit the cabinet
It sounds pretty good.

I love old Radios but sometimes you have to make use of what otherwise would be binned.

Obviously plugging a guitar into something like this safety is essential.

Cheers
