For you Guitarists: Bell & Howell Filmosound Amp Conversions

[raydm6]

*** In case you see one of these in a yard sale and are handy with electronic projects ***

I came across several articles converting these old Bell & Howell vintage movie-projector amps into low-powered guitar amps. There are several models out there and lots of YouTube videos with sound demos and conversions. Very interesting and they sound pretty good!

From Guitar.com:

Vinyl may have made a comeback, but don’t expect cine film to follow suit any time soon. That said, before you take that ancient Bell & Howell Filmosound down to the dump, you might be surprised to learn that clever amp techs have found a way to repurpose these home-movie projectors into great-sounding tube-driven guitar amplifiers.
