hey yall.

i have this old JVC RX-150 AM/FM tuner, and i was wondering if i could make a deacy amp sorta thing with it.

you know, queen's bassist (deacon) made brian may an amp out of a car's radio. how and what it was made of gave the amp that signature tone.

so i was looking at the wiring inside of this tuner. it looks all anolog- i can see two tubes in it, not sure what they're for. i could manipulate the audio in's in the back and put in a guitar input.

but the only problem is, once i take it apart, i dont really know where to start. im not a mechanical genious. and also, if i make this amp, i really want it to sound different. i dont want it to just sound all muddy or whatnot. so if yall have any ideas for experimenting with tones, that would be cool.



does anyone know where to find a wiring diagram for the deacy amp? ive been through pages of google. im thinking about using these wirings as sort of a guide.

anyways, any help with this project would be very much appreciated. :D
