1940's Admiral Radio Amp

Antique 1940's Admiral Radio, 2 watt guitar fuel amp/w gain, original 4x6 radio speaker, original Admiral knobs for on/off/volume and gain, 9 volt battery clip, red led on/off light. The volume knob is now the on/off/volume and the tuning knob now controls the gain. The radio was shot as far as working so I removed the guts and went this route, it sounds amazing! There's something about the old speakers from the 40's and 50's that makes them sound so much better than the stuff made these days.
