    Not yet Rev. It's on hold. I'll get back to it. I have an electronics friend who comes for coffee and spills his beans.

    Dave Lynas - did you ever have any luck with the analog (needle) meter on that one amp you built?   Getting it to move?

    I won't give up. I grounded the Jack to the metal chassy. Then probed around the volume pot at each connection. No go? I have two radios that are battery powered transistor type am radios. Beetle Juice says they are good candidates. I'll keep trying. Thanks for your success story. Encouraged!

     I almost gave up trying to hack the radio. The I found that earthing the jack first seemed to help. Then with the live wire touched a solder point coming from the volume pot and then bingo. So i guess i'm saying don't give up.

    Nice combo. Love the radio hack. I haven't been successful yet at hacking in a jack for amping the radio. Can't figure out what to connect the Jack to?
