My buddy got this at an estate sale. This is what a broken one sounds like. Factory reset did nothing so I recorded 90 seconds of the glitch for the ole archive and now its bound for the landfill. God rest ye Roland D-20, we hardly knew ye.

I'm disassembling a Philco 47-1230 (1947 model #1230) for guitar amp retrofit and listening to the new Benevento album
It's like 3 ft tall and the grille tilts out to reveal a record player and speaker. Bout to crank this 80 year old speaker with another amp and see how it do
I have an earlier 1937 model 630 that was the first candidate but I'm going to have a go at the younger model first because it's in a condition that needs more attention before I defile the more pristine one
The original plan was to gut it and put a loud ass Neil Young 50s Fender 5E3 amp circuit in there because it matches the 3 knob layout but we'll see where things lead
In case you're wondering about restoration, these are outdated and use radio freqs no one bothers with any more so unless you want Limbaugh reruns on AM I'm gonna make it dirty tube saturation goodness
i just played all those but switching between them is another matter. ive tried to learn a few steely dan songs never been that successful, gold teeth is one i have somewhat down.
Troy post made the tiger with all electronics specd out by Anthony Coscia. The Languedoc copy is made by equator out of Ecuador. Cab is also made by Coscia. I want to grab a mesa Fillmore 25 to pair with the cab. Man gear will forever take my money!
Time to fix up and sell extra gear. Banjo is first on the list. It needs a screw to act as the nut on the short string. Ill probably file the slot at an angle to make sure the contact point is at the right place. I ordered a compensated bridge for this banjo also since it was such a success on the other one.
Then we are swapping pickups in the archtop jazz box and upgrading the controls. Then ill drop some cool pups in the Dean that I'm pulling the hand wound ones out of. Then on to the Kramer strat copy...
