Default Geek here, any doubts???

This shit I built/wired myself maybe 40 years ago.....

The top box has a board long gawn, was for decoding signal scrambling TV

the middle one was sig select and volume controls for stereo.....

the bottom one I used back in the late 60's/70's for parts jumper as a TV tech.....

Obviously the top two were for my own entertainment.....

pre McIntosh stereo daze........been a while......

By the transformer and cap sizes I bet that amp had a whopping 50 watts output!
Speakers by Heathkit?

When I was in high school I made a hash pipe out of a Bic pen.

NOT an amp, a signal processor, TV decoder box, yes, restoring the suppressed synch/blanking pulse......

I sent off to some company for construction plans for large stereo speakers.....and so took their box design and put four 8-10" speakers plus tweeter in each one......about 4' tall, 2' wide and 16" deep......

after I went McIntosh on my gear, I sold them, long ago.....
