Is that the unabomber?

lol...that's what the end user's coworker asked when I delivered it to him.

It's not the bomber.

It's a fuzzy face that my wife drew, and I walked by and said, "He's gotta have aviators."

So now he does.

Just a very plain Zendrive/son of screamer clone in a wee box. Used odd pots so they are at different heights. Doh!

nice one mitzrecords

Last few pages of this thread have had a couple of amps sneak in, I may as well add mine. Finally finished it after months of procrastinating and distractions:


brownface fender princeton in a 1940's bakelite radio.

[kurtlives]

That's so classy Andrew.

That was quite the restoration you did to that radio.

[petemoore]

  Save all good bakelite !
  Isn't that the one that went through the extensive transformation processes...started off looking like 'trash ?
  Both amps on this page have been shown favoritism...the RTR case, 14w amp is too cool too !

[DWBH]

Cool build and cool amp.
And also great taste on that delay/reverb pedal

[andrew_k]

Thanks guys. Yes Peter, it started out pretty trashed -



Mitz:What design is your RTR amp based on? Do you find it gets enough ventilation in that case?

[mitzrecords]

wow andrew!! yours is beautiful! Im embarrssed of mine now nothing to compare with yours!

i actually just found this old RCA mono amp at garage sale at 20 bones and my friend had a brokne RTR. so I gutted it out and put it inside. I didnt do much on amp. I just replaced caps and new tubes.

its ventillation is really good. on top there is another speaker but i took it out and it is like a suitcase so if i want i can just open the back and have open back or closed back easily. i need a better speaker though...the RTR enclosure is PHillips

again, yours is amazinG!!!

[andrew_k]

haha, don't be silly man! Creativity is about collaboration, not competition.
That's awesome that you were able to find an existing, working amp to squeeze in there. Did it have the original RCA valves as well??

[mitzrecords]

haha i just had to buy power tubes but the rest are rca original tubes.

Wow, that's fantastic! Has to be pretty satisfying to have transformed the trash into treasure!

[andrew_k]

Speaker and all. Nice one! 

[Valoosj]

Thanks, it was a tight squeeze.

Dano, you're a cheat. No resistors nor caps!
