Acoustic Guitar Construction

Both my parents passed away and I had to clean the house my mother lived in.
There I found my dad's old tube radio. Blaupunkt Palma, 1957, "Hifi", 4 loudspeakers, all tube amp.
Here is advertisement from 1957 and therefore the reason my dad bought this top of the line radio in the first place:
Ya, he loved beauty.



Now I found a guy who adjusts old tube radio's. And makes a guitar input to it. Plus an extra speaker output jack.
Now my dad's radio has a new life. With electrics it is fun, but with an acoustic guitar it is just as good as a modern acoustic amp.

Radio, sound and me!

That sounded really nice! What a great use for that set of tubes.

That is very cool Herman, and you are looking very cool these days too! Way to go.

Really cool! I am old enough that I had to learn all the tube theory and their use in amplifiers. I remember rolling my eyes at the time as transistors were everywhere then. A large tube class A amplifier is still the standard for sound, and it can work as a great heater in the winter.

and I'm old enough to remember going down to the local drug store and buying replacement tubes for my TV set.

Memory lane? Are you really that old?

I am 62, I think Kevin is that or close, Most of the radios, audio amplifiers and TVs were tubes as I grew up. Japanese transistor radios came out and were fun. By the time I was taking engineering classes tubes had gone away for the most part but the licensing tests had not changed yet.
