Console #1: 1969 Magnavox Astrosonic Console

In the fall of 2007 I decided I wanted to build a tube guitar amplifier. Since my "all-scrap" playhouse project worked well, I decided to try and build the amp from scrounged parts only. I got lucky when I came across a free ad in the local Craigslist, for this old TV console. The TV section was all tube so I tore the whole thing appart. From this I retrieved a pair of HF horns, a pair of 15" LF drivers (and cross-overs), several vacum tubes, and four transformers, along with a bucket of hardware.
