i tried a valve radio project a while back but got cold feet about the electrics and just ran a small amp to the speaker but the sound wasn't particularly good. be interesting to see how you get on with this

Doug, that's a great idea. I've already taken out the valves cleaned them up and started thinking about how to put it all together.

Cheers, Wes.

I'm not sure about the old speaker. I was chatting to a bloke who runs a small music shop, and he reckons that it might not have as wide a frequency range as a modern speaker. All middle with little or no top and bottom, perfect for crappy radio broadcasts in the late 50s but not suited to a guitar amp.

I suppose I'll have to wait and see.
