Old radio to amp

Posted by Joe Williams on May 5, 2018 at 4:27pm in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts

Here are the 2 sides of the board of an old transistor radio I'm wanting to turn into an amp. Can't get it done yet. I think I need to disable the radio signal, but don't know how to do that. I think the top pic is clear enough. In the bottom pic, the big pot is the AM/FM selector, if that's relevant.

    I've never done this before but my guess would be you'll want to disconnect the "in" wire from the volume pot and replace it with your guitar hot wire.

      So did I, but like many things in life, apparently it’s not necessarily so.
