Antique Zenith Radio Amp, the radio guts were toast so I tore them out. I was able to salvage the original speaker.Original 5" Zenith speaker, 2 watt GuitarFuel amp circuit, 9 volt battery box, on/off led light. The original knob on the right controls on/off/volume and the original knob on the left is the gain. The old tuning dial is for looks only.

    Thanks Ted!

    The guts were just to far gone on this radio to salvage so I thought I would go this route, the case was still in really good shape.

    I really like the GF boards, Wes Carl is the one that turned me onto them. Wes builds some amazing stuff!

    Love to see yours when you get it done, thanks again Bro!

    Super cool. The Guitar Fuel amp circuits rock. I have an old Phillips tube radio, wanted to convert chassis to a tube guitar amp, but after seeing this, think I will remove & save the chassis for a different amp build, and use a GF harness on the radio.
