Is that faceplate material with UV printing?

Yep, faux brushed stainless finish on adhesive backed 1/16" plastic.

Nice! I didn’t know they could do that. I had a few designs I’ve been trying to finish up where some black printing would be tops!

A couple weeks ago, I decided to drop all my projects, put my iron away, and then felt a huge wave of relief. But now I just took delivery of something I'm really excited about. I will be pulling my iron back out tonight. You'll have to wait for the build report though

The very last excuse I could possibly make to procrastinate on my triptop build. Tubes that have been backordered since Februaryish.
A while back, my brother gifted me a dive bar shirt of the month club membership. I don't drink much these days but I'd have a beer there.

Got some 7660S charge pump ICs, a smattering of transistors (including a matched-set for a phaser) and a freebie Friedman smallbox PCB.
No pic, not interesting enough to take/post a pic. In fact, I should just delete this post.

Only for US customers. How long does it take to move to the US, become a citizen, etc...?
I just got news that the transformer I have been waiting for from Mercury magnetics is now ready. Man, they have been terrible since the reliable Patrick Selfridge died late last year. He was on the ball and great to deal with and is much missed. I don't envy the new guy - it must be a steep learning curve. But it is very frustrating trying to get transformers from them.
Anyway, once the transformer arrives I will be able to replace the Mojo/Heyboer PT in my tweed Super/Pro 1x12 combo so I can run KT77s in it. My last Super ran KT77s and for me they sound much better than 6L6s. KT77s have a tougher midrange and just fill out the sound better. The 6L6s are good but the KT77s are great!
I the meantime I'm slowly getting some pine amp cabs tolexed. Applying tolex is my least favourite part of amp building, but it looks good once it's done. And when it's raining here I make pedals. I always do my tolexing in the garage with the doors open at each end because the glue stinks too much otherwise. When it rains it gets windy and I get wet.

I really want to build an amp but finding time for a medium part count OD is tough enough these days.
