wade...your welcome to post it here!...its all about the fun, not the exact age of the radio....even a new hack is totally rad!

These are so cool!  I posted a vid of a radio I transformed into an amp on the home page. It's a newer radio so I did'nt want to kill the vibe here. Now that I kind of know what I'm doing my next one will be sweet vintage tone!
