Newcomb Phonogragh/Peavey Repurpose Amp

Posted by Maddog on July 29, 2013 at 8:29am
Repurposed Newcomb phonogragh. I've had this old Newcomb Phonogragh for a bit so I sat down out the cabin yeterday and did a little thinking on how to approach the repurpose into an amp. After working with the old electronics for a bit I decided to scrap them and sink a Peavey head into it. It sounds amazing, very happy with it, I believe this will be a keeper :-) Note: The phono origanally came from the Trinity Luthern School in Fremont, Nebraska. I bought it at a garage sale.

    Thanks Ron! It sounds amazing driving that old 12! WAY better than the original.  :-)

    Pretty nifty! Nice looking case also.  I'd bet  that Peavey amp with the old 12" sounds better than it ever did driving the original speaker.

    Thanks Darryl! I picked up an old 1960's Contessa tube amp yesterday to add to the amp pile. :-) I have an amp addiction it seems, some might call it hoarding. I call them investments in the future.  ;-)

    Thanks Ted! I'm really pleased with the sound, very deep/rich tone to this build. 

    Cool on the bass pup! I think you'll like it.

    Wow Very Nice. Pat is that a tube amp? I also order the bass pup and got it in the mail already I don't know if I got the right one. I did not order the pair...just one, but it looks like the one  you have in your box.
