Grandpa's Tube Karaoke Machine Becomes Smokin' Guitar Amp
This is a 1950 Webster Chicago Model 166-1 Portable PA 110 Combo. A customer brought me this thing and basically said "do your worst". He may have even used the phrase "make it breathe fire"...so I did. Here's the entire conversion process followed by a demo, including my crappy impromptu rendition of Prince's "Purple Rain"! For this conversion, we rely heavily on the RCA Receiving Tube Manual to convert the preamp input from a single 7-pin 6AT6 triode to a 6AU6 pentode.
