Ampro Model 731 Single Ended Tube Reel to Reel - Converted for Guitar Amp Use

Description

Description
Here for sale is a unique little guitar amplifier. This started out as an Ampro 731 Tape Deck but the damaged plastic and messed up tape mech made recovery to its original function impossible. I have converted the unit for Electric Guitar use by relocating the Aux input jack to the side 1/4" jack. I have also replaced the main filter capacitors to deal with some stubborn hum. This unit fundamentally works as a low power guitar amplifier but does vibrate and rattle at high output levels - See Video. This amplifier is essentially a very simple single ended amplifier, making use of a 6X4 rectifier, 6AU6, and 6AQ5. This unit is in very rough shape and missing some parts. I see if more of a nostalgic show piece rather than a serious musical instrument.
