WTB: CHEAP tube amp. Broken/single channel/whatever.

Spasticteapot · 21st October 2006, 08:09 PM

I'm looking for a cheap tube amplifier for conversion to guitar use. Something based around, say, a 6v6 would make this easy, but I'll take what I can get so long as it's cheap.

I don't have a completed amp, but if you want to roll your own, I do have a transformer set (pwr and opt) which will work for a 6v6 along with tubes and other various parts. Can even come up with a schematic or two for a guitar amp. I usually have one or two sitting around but sales are good and I just have not had the time to build a new one.

Hi,

If you have a thrift store in your area, you can likely build one for very cheap.

Here is a little tube amplifier project I put together for for less than $15

Have fun!

Tomorrow, I'm off to the thrift shops!

RH2music, what is the output power of your amp?
