This is a rare and unusual vintage 1978 Walco G150R guitar amplifier made by fellow Kentucky hillbillies, in the eastern Kentucky Appalachian County of Harlan, in the town of Wallins Creek. I had never seen nor heard of this company before buying this amp. I did some online research and only found ONE other example being sold on Reverb. This one is solid state with Motorola output transistors, has a 10" Eminence speaker and an O. C. Electronics Folded Line Reverberation Tank, The sticker on it says "Manufactured by Beautiful Girls in Milton Wis. Under Controlled Atmospheric conditions." Has a nice clean tone, albeit with some remaining issues. Very Fender like clean tone with nice reverb. A very unusual piece of Kentucky history. You'll probably never see another one! This example came to me with some serious issues in the power supply and structurally in the cabinet. We will repair all the issues we see and demo the tone with a Fender Telecaster. Also includes a transformer disassembly and repair! Transformer was buzzing badly because it had loose laminations. I'll show how to fix this condition.

I'm originally from Harlan , and I knew the owner , and founder of this company very well . He was one of the best friends I ever had in my entire life . They also manufactured a P.A. system , but I can't remember much about it , all though I did at one time own a set of their speaker columns they used with their P.A. systems . I don't think they ever manufactured an amplifier larger than this one , but I do think they had plans for one on the drawing board . This wasn't a very large manufacturing facility , but I can remember the quality of their manufacturing was very good . I never was into solid sate amps , but in hind sight I wish I had bought one of these little amps just so I could say that I own a piece of history from that era . The oldest son of the owner of this company is named Brad as well . I enjoy your videos , thank you for posting them .

I had a Walco amp when I first started playing guitar. I bought it used for $10 at a garage sale in 1980. The cabinet was in pretty rough shape, which is why it was so cheap, but it worked and I loved it. I fixed up the cabinet myself. Lost it, and almost everything else I owned, in a fire in 1997. Finding out it was made by Kentucky hillbillies is cool, because I was, too!

This amp is def worth the effort, it sounds GREAT. The fingernail lacquer is very useful, I used it on my one and only pup that I wound to stabilize the winding. Have you ever thought of winding your own pickups? Ok, see ya, WooHoo. And James Best spent his last years in Hickory NC, just over the mountain from Wilkes (BY GOD ) county where I was raised up, he was a great actor, with a wide range. Once again, WooHoo.

The spider wires from the speaker cone have to be able to move with the cone. In a situation where I was worried they'd be too short I usually used a cut off lead from a two watt (or larger) resistor to solder to the lugs, then bend a little loop in the ends to solder the spider wires too. That way I could "adjust" the connection down far enough to give the wires plenty of slack.

Great video Brad! I love the new setup when you were testing it out with the 'Amp Knob Tele.' The acoustics you picked up from the mic(s) sounded VERY CLEAR! Glad you've moved into the new house now. I have a soild state Fender M-80 that I fixed up (replaced some zeners & resisitors, cleaned up the electronics & pots). The case itself was a 12" combo that had been left outside and the carpet got soggy along with the chipboard. I sanded and sealed it real good, built a case into the inside frame to strengthen it out of white pine, then recovered it with new grey carpet. It plays and looks great - but it's almost as heavy as the 4x12 cabinet now!

It's heartbreaking to see such a cool amp get abused like that, but I'm pleased at how well you were able to bend it back into shape. My dad grew up back the holler in coal mining country in Kentucky, so it's cool to think of some old guys building guitar amps up in the hills. I remember seeing the tobacco hanging in the barns to dry on the way down south to visit grandma. I like your idea of Kentucky rising to prosperity again with the production of some of the crops you mentioned. Just not so prosperous that corporate assholes come and pave the whole place over. Thanks for sharing such a cool project.

Thanks, Jeff. There are a few forward thinking people trying to at least get industrial hemp legalized so our farmers can have a new cash crop. I sure hope it passes. We need all the help we can get and no one wants a handout. The whole reason I spent so much time on this thing is because I admired the entrepreneurship that brought it to life. We're talking about an area with almost nothing going for it but coal, and here these Kentucky boys set out to make something, and succeeded. Makes me proud.

@@TheGuitologist Industrial hemp has so many uses it's insane. If you had jeans made from hemp cloth they would last forever and put the cotton industry behind the 8 ball. It makes the best paper for printing stock. You can make plastic with it and even make a car body with it. You can google that. It would save the trees in the NW and if you plant it where it rains and cause a lot of run off it holds the soil and inhibits erosion. The list is endless. I'm all about the marijuana side.

Thanks for sticking with it to the end.
