Picked up an old tube radio at a sale for $5, figured it would be a good candidate for wiring in one of the amp kits if the radio itself was dead. Learned that it actually worked, plus it had a phono input option. Got the correct adapter connector, plugged in my Route 66 (with on-board pre-amp/equalizer) and voila! Here's a short demo. Think it sounds pretty awesome!

pick - - bet that old 8-track was a ton of fun! Sure to get some crazy looks too!
And you're just seeing a bit of my shop! I liked it with my license plates on display, awaiting new lives as LPGs!
Thanks Andries - - might work up a longer demo! I can't see anywhere what its power is, but you may be about right. Cheers!
ps .. your shop looks like a tv stage set . ;-)
dang . my house aint even that clean . lol.
One of my first guitar amps I owned and used , was the mic input on an old 8 track player .. That thing was awesome .
