these radios have all the parts required to make a Brian May / Queen style "Deacy" amp

Spotted one of these the other day. Getting itchy fingers to give this sort of thing a try! Thanks for sharing Joe. 🤘

Hello, thank you very much for the video, it is very cool, I didn't understand that about putting one transistor on top of another when they were low hfe. I love your pedals, they are the best! a big hug from Peru

You & Loe got the right idea finding & reclaiming old components. First off, the search and hunt is cool, then of course if you can find parts that work, you get killer parts. Hope you’re well my friend, talk to ya soon. -Aaron

Love this thank you.

I hate to say it but i have nearly enough germanium transistors now that i might just consider not buying any more for a little while...unless i see a really good deal or one i cant get hold of often...oh sod it, i'll buy any i can get my hands on Main supplies are job lots of old components or old test kit or old electronics engineers who have sadly passed and left behind quality street boxes full of germanium transistors in their sheds, i also recently got all the transistors out an old ibm1401 and although they were basically part numbers unknown to fuzz the first handful went into a zonk and it sounded as good as the tone bender i made after collecting oc81ds and searching for only the perfect gain and hfe for feckin months. I agree with what you said about carbon comps btw! I started using them as it was like...maybe they add tone? But the amount of noisy circuits i got it just wasnt worth it. The very cheapest 1% resistors off ebay are better than having a dodgy carbon comp in there.

How much do the radios cost???

Why don't you use the transformers? The power amp is more a less Brian May's Deacy amp.
