Because my son wants to play guitar and the little solid-state amp we had went AWOL some time ago, I have shifted this project up the priority list.
The idea is to use the old Philips radio pictured below as a basis for a guitar amp. I hoping to squeeze 3-5W out of ot which should be ok for a little practise amp. I used it for spares when I was refurbishing my bro-in-law's Philips B6X63A. It has all sorts of useful things, including a power transformer, an EL84 SE output transformer, a chassis with 6 valve sockets and many tag strips underneath, volume, bass and treble pots, piano switches, a few valves (EL84, ECC83), a magic eye (guitar amp with a "VU" meter!). I will probably be able to use a few components like WW resistors, but most caps and carbon resistors are way out if not visibly f$%ked.
(More later - off to a meeting)
