Guitar Amp From Old Radio

Hello,

I have made this guitar amp out of an old but working radio ..

And its workin... ;)

I learnt playing guitar about a year ago , since then i was searching for some low cost amp for guitar but in India u cant get a low cost one , I dont knw why the hell they put a min price tag of RS 5K OR MORE on amps..

So i was trying to make something to wich I wioll connnect my guitar and that will be connected to my 2.1 sound system so I can play guitar without buying a n amp of high cost.

One day I found an instrauctables project on this site which was given by Lone soul surfer-https://www.instructables.com/id/Convert-Any-Radio-....

His model was doing well , so I decided to make one of my one which can be connected to any 2.1 music system which cant play the sound directly from a guitar.

I used ---

1. An old Philips Bahadur Radio -- It was battery operated , but now I play this using an old samsung mobile phone charger.

2. 1/4 Input for Guitar to which the output guitar chord can be inserted

3. wires

4. Microdrill to make holes

5. Soldering Iron

6. 3.5 mm audio jack -- I collected that from an old headphone .

If ur radio is functioning well then u just open up the radio and straight go to the circuit board where the volume controller is situated, that place is also known as the Volume Pot , here you may find 4 or 5 terminals which are coming out from the variable;e resistor.

Turn on the radio i.e power it.

Now you have the input port to 3which 6 mm STAAG SGC6 guitar cable can be inserted.

WIre and solder the two terminals of the port.

Here I am tagging the wire as no 01 and no 2

Now what u have to do is to connect and solder the No. 02 wire to the --Ve terminal on the battery box

Then connect the STAAG SGC6 guitar cable to the guitar as well as to the 6 mm input port , and hold the nO.o1 wire and touch and try the 4 or 5 terminals of the volume pot , and strum the guitar strings , When u can hear that the speaker is playing tyhe sounds out of it then mark the terminal over the volume pot and solder the no.01 wire there.

First cut the end of a 3.5 mm audio cable and connect two ends of the cable to the speakers ,

then connect the 3.5 mm cable to the input / adopter of any 2.1 speaker or any sound system .

And again strum the guitar , if all the wirings are done correctly u should hear the sounds of strumming coming out bof the speakers .

Attach the 6mm input over the radio box . Place it where u find it most easy band comfy to place.

make another hole for the 3.5mm output.
