New Radio to Amp Project

A friend picked this rather snazzy old radio at a jumble sale for £4 for me. I'm going to look into the possibility of turning it into an amp.

  • Oh, well, in that case thank you very much.

  • Yep. it was you and you sounded great.  I was mistakenly listening to the first Dylan download and not the 2nd and current one.  That's me.  A day late and a dollar short.

  • John, I'm going to have a listen to see which one you mistook for me.

    Between you and me...which song did you think it was?

  • Thanks, John. Although, I'm rather surprised, as I didn't submit a song for the Dylan II project. I'd love to take credit, but I think your kind words need to go to someone else.
    I'll have to download the album and see who's nicked my mojo.

  • Yup.  I see the pick clearly now.   Could not see it the first time and was puzzled.  Man, the radio looks great.   Hedley, I just heard your track on the Dylan II CD.  Magnificent.

  • Yeah, the head stock looks a little strange in the photo. This is due to a pale plectrum being slotted under the strings behind the nut on the left, and the button strap being threaded behind the strings above the nut.

  • uncle john, i thought there was something weird about the headstock too, but if you look close, it's just the guitar strap,,

  • Nice stuff and setting.  Interesting head stock.

  • The radio is in working order, but could do with an aerial. I've not really had a close look at it yet, but it seems to have an input in the back. I'll know a little more in the morning when I get the back off it. I'm a little concerned about the dangers of electric shocks from tube amps, so I'll be throwing some questions around later for some safety dos and don'ts.

  • valve radio, good score, you might be able to use some of the gut's to make a nice valve amp, they alway's sound better than solid state one's,
