Title: Bell and Howell Suitcase Amp
Post by: Platefire on October 07, 2012, 12:29:05 am

A friend sent me these pictures of a Bell & Howell Projector Audio amp he mounted in a old suitcase. I thought it was pretty cool. I thought you all might enjoy it to!  :l2: :l2:

That is too cool. I was actually thinking of doing that. I made one out of an old portable sewing machine. Unhook the lid for the speaker cab and the amp is where the sewing machine was.

I love stuff like that! Repurposing things and stuffing an amp where it don't belong.

To everyone out there: What's the wierdest thing you build an amp out of/into?

Here is an old Early 50's Webcor reel to reel that I converted into an old champ circuit.
