I picked up a 70's transistor console stereo with an 8 track recorder/player, a turn table, and AM/FM. I'm woundering if a guitar was hooked up to it if it might have an interesting raunchy pignose kind of sound? What would be the best way to hook a guitar up to it? I would like to retain the FM stereo and record player, not too interested in AM or 8 tracks.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice.

I can get a tiny bit of clean with a single coil bridge pickup, volume on the guitar at full, the gain on the amp rolled all the way off, tone all the way up and the volume on the amp turned down so low I can barely hear the amp over the sound of my solid body guitar. I can chase this same little window of clean all the way around the volume knobs until the guitar is rolled off and the amp is all the way up. But I almost have to hold the amp up to my ear to hear it. Anything beyond this and it starts to breakup. I wouldn't say it's not a musical sound. I'm pretty sure this is the way they built it. I paid $5 for the amp and no I don't want to invest any more into it for a speaker or anything. I was hoping it would be as easy as pulling out a couple of resistors, but if all that does is cut out the gain knob then I don't think it will help me. Yes I am in the US.
Thanks

If I could just get any clean sound at a low volume level out of this thing without much effort that would make me happy.
My speaker also has no markings. I do have a "manual" which is all of one sheet of copy paper, but it does have the specs:

So, did anybody ever cut out those resistors? Did it work?
I just picked up a firstact MA2039 at a garage sale the other day. It's powered by two 9v's and it sounds like crap. Nothing but horrible distortion no matter the setting. The circuit looks similar, but different to the one pictured earlier. It still has those resistors only labeled D2 and D3 on the circuit board. I sure would be happy to get some clean sounds out of this thing.

where do you buy them?
