Baldwin tube organ conversion project

Last fall I picked up a free Baldwin Model 45 tube powered organ with the intention of converting it into a mono hi fi system and guitar amp. This is what I ended up with. Goal was to build the cab only using existing wood and fasteners from the original piece. What do you think? I'm happy with the results, sounds just like I imagined it would. The Dynaco pre amp is just temporary until I build a proper preamp/reverb/vibrato unit for the guitar down the road. For listening to FM radio I simply drive the amp though a radios phone or line out jack. This PPP amp has plenty of power and pretty good range. I'm pretty pleased with the results. Neighbors better close their windows this thing is loud.







Still need to mount the pilot light!

Yep, that's idea. A mono hi fi and guitar amp in one rig. The Pas 3 works as a guitar pre amp until I can build a proper one. Makes a good, deep, clean sound for guitar but really isn't suitable for proper distortion.
