The fact that you had to point it out to the O.O. is a best result possible. She'd forgotten it was there.

I wish it were so, but it's not! More ambivalence mixed with indifference. And a good measure of resignation.

I'll take any positive! (Not sure which films you've been watching though like...)

Cut, drilled, punched and filed some plates for the 45 SE audio circuit this afternoon. No bleeding today though . It's going to be a 3D challenge fitting the amp, Pi, DAC and PS in to a small angular space but I think I should just be able to squeeze it all in.
First photo is of the plates, second is with stuff attached to the plates, and the third a mock-up of how it all goes together.

Add a bit of polished microbore copper pipe here and there, with a few brass cogs scattered about and you'll have steampunk in the kitchen.
Seriously, it's great to see proper builds happening once more.

Like it!
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

5751. I found the pair I used before.
Gordon Rankin talks about using them interchangeably with 6072s in his Bugle article - I went straight to 5751 when I built it before as I had some. The extra gain of the 5751 made it rock!!!

The plan is that when it's all complete there will be no clue about what's inside. Unless you try to lift the damned thing! Bit of a shame really, but then this build is all about domesticity rather than valves.Cressy Snr wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2017 8:30 am Add a bit of polished microbore copper pipe here and there, with a few brass cogs scattered about and you'll have steampunk in the kitchen.

Ah good, 5751's - I remember using in place of ECC83's in the EAR phono amp many years ago. They were a useful step up in quality with a bit less gain.

Take out the innards,
Build your final amp to fit inside the now freed up case,
Link up the redundant fascia controls on the toaster carcass, to your volume and selector switches,
The bread slots, protected by an internal mesh, to stop people putting bread down them, serve as vents, in conjunction with holes in the baseplate of said toaster.
Sue's friends will all want one. (been watching too much "Money for Nothing")

Think it would need an 8-slicer at least to fit it all in
