• WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
    performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
    the safety precautions around high voltages.

I had an opportunity to collect anything I wanted from a closed radio repair shop.

A shot of the battle station. Everything you see here was free and I've tested all of it and it seems to be in working order.

In the early 1980's when I was novice at electronics I too ka none working sound to light unit to a place called "Radio house". The bloke their repaired radio's and TV's.
He showed me how t ofix the sound to light unit, in fact it just needed a new triac.
We got chatting about guitar amplifiers and I commented on how popular valve amplifier were with guitarists. He popped through the back and came back with a very, very old bottle type valve amplifier. He said to replace the paper capacitors to make it safe and it would be ok as a guitar amp.
It sounded pretty good.
I would pop in now and again and have some good chats about electronics.
He had been a radio engineer during the second world war and flew planes too.
