I just finished restoring a very unique tube guitar amp from an old Fanton Stereo HiFi amp, which I believe was built in the 50's.

The amp now has a single-ended 6AK6 output tube, which gives it around 1 watt. The volume on 10 is perfect for the bedroom!

Here's a photo of the amp

Cool, I love projects like this. I have a couple of small amps like this myself, they're a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.

p.s. sounds nice.

Bluesbreaker cloth! Is it a UK piece?
