Antique Zenith Bakelite AM Radio Amp

Posted by Maddog on February 17, 2014 at 3:10am

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.

Nice Maddog! I wish I knew squat about electronics since I've picked up 5 or 6 very similar to this and my first attempt to wire one for an amp resulted in a puff of smoke. I'm just gonna hang on to the others till I get some 'lectric learnin'.

I have an almost identical radio, been thinking about converting it.
Yours looks great!
