The Radione is very cool looking. Transistors or tubes?

I saw this just sell on ebay for 30 bucks, the seller even made a video....I can hear the killer tone just waiting for a conversion....imagine the poss-obilites....just like Mami's kitchen!

this would make an awesome amp!

Here is something i am working on. Its an old Arvin tube radio. Turning it into a cbg tube amp will be a little tricky. All tubes, no transformers in these old things.

Had some spare time today and I hack into my Sony Sports boom box. Here are a few pictures.

 What your looking at is the cassette motor. I unclipped the harness and set it out of the way.

 

I clipped the wires off the stereo tape head. There is a red, black, yellow, white and bare ground wire. I soldered the bare ground wire to the negative ground post of the jack. I hooked my 2 stringer  to the jack and tested the wires on the positive post. I found the red and white wires were the left and right channels. So the black and yellow were negative and I soldered them to the ground post of the jack. Made the hole for the jack on the left side and put it all back together.

This one is a loud amp and was well worth the hack. AM-FM radio works well. I found that the tone on the bass setting and the Mega Bass switched on worked the best along with playing with the volumes. This runs off a wall adapter or 6 C batteries.

Hope this help make clear how to do this amp hack, it's easy, cheap, and anyone can do it.
