tube radio circuitry is not suitable for guitar amp conversion. Without a power transformer and the 2 prong cord, you would have a 50-50 chance of being killed from the high voltage coming through your patch cord, to the strings, and "BLAMO!", game over. Best to refinish the radio shell with a retro color paint, then install a simple cbg amp circuit.

got a deal on it, 2 bucks , dont think insides work, the cord looked pretty scary...if they did work, it would make a nice tube amp i bet
Nice one, looks like a model 1500, circa 1951.
