It can't get uglier than this (bits and boards)

Post by Reeltarded »

I bought enough PRP resistors for a couple or more amps and a bunch of duplicate values for different PIs and plates in set pairs.

Last night I pulled out the box and the next three boards. Number one looks like #2.

:lol:

Hello --

A thing of be-uti(lity). I have found those provide some of the finest resistance known to the world, albeit experience is limited to a handful of builds and a few repairs.

I was considering coating everything in purple epoxy. Not in globs. Like purple candy. I have to see what capacitors I actually use. Mustards are the plan but I need a pair of .22 that I hid from myself.

Red on sausage is weird looking.

2 and 3 are paxolin and black. This red one has to go down first.

The epoxy would be a mess to make nice, but it would be sort of pretty. lol

I can make you a black board... Just got some in last week. Super shiny, engraves to an almost white gray.

Your boards always look great.

Hve you ever made faceplates out of that stuff? Looks like a WWII bomber dash.

Thanks bro! Yes I have. It just scratches up too easy with much use.

I don't know. It looks like it's about to get uglier.

LMAO!!! :lol:

You should see my discarded cardboard layouts. I could make a clubhouse from this one amp. I have a problem of original chassis vs repurposed tube placement. I have been thinking about it for years. There is no good answer. I feel like I am standing on the top level tower at Wakulla Springs.

Yeah, I'm going to jump.. one day. 30' looks like 1200' from here. :lol:

You jerk!! hahaha too funny. I'm happy now.
