Midland radio amp conversion

Little 1960's Midland transistor radio/amp conversion, 3"x5" radio, rear jack, w/ a 2" speaker that actually puts out pretty decent. I had one of these in my youth so when I saw it at a flea market and it worked I had to have it. Hook it on your belt and go:-)

Just hacked through the volume pot, I followed the lead off the amp/radio conversion threads and how-to-vids on the Nation's how to forums. I'm not a wiring guru by any means so I just hook a couple wires to a 1/4" jack plug a git into it and start experimenting with connecting points til I get the right combo. It's a 9 volt system so you're not gonna do any damage to you or the radio. Seems like every radio I have done is a little different, it's fun when the plan comes together though.
