The pack I have will fit on a 6.35mm solid shaft. They're on my tele.

Cool. I think I still have a few of these lying around I will give it a shot later

How does it compare with GPCB's klon? (which has no charge pump, can't recall about the buffer though)

That, I do not know. I didn’t realize they had one. I haven’t built anything from Barry on a while.

The brass rings I have don't fit on a 6.35mm shaft without some brute force. After playing some more I don't think this will bother me as much as I originally thought so I'll leave it

Well that sucks. The set I have just slip on. I'll have a look and see where I bought them.

Barry calls his Klone the "MKC", Modified Klon Circuit.

Now playing: a variable high pass filter meant primarily for bass:
Bench testing looked OK but perhaps a little meh, but when I finally got around to listening to it last night I was very pleasantly surprised. Small enough to fit in a 1590A, I think. The next version will shrink a little in any case.

Absolutely restore this radio.Visited my grandma’s house today and came home with this old transistor radio.
Chock full of ~50 year old WIMA caps! Such mojo!
Y’all think I should clean it up and get it working again, just for fun, or strip out the guts, salvage the many cool tin-can transistors and whatever other mojo parts still have any life in them, and then build a cute little solid state amp into the chassis?
Of the transistors, I’ve only been able to identify one as an af125 and two as af126. Both germanium, though I can’t find much more specs than that.
Edit; also one of these: af178
Can’t read the markings on the other three though
If it is WAYYYY beyond restoration (probably still useful for somebody's restoration of another unit, a friend of mine who restores radios might like to have that, but...), I mean wayyy beyond —
Schumann PLL housing...
...or one of @Pauleo1214's inspiring combo-builds.
...or...?

@Passinwind — If your new little unit fits 1590A, that's small enough for one of my bass' cavities... just sayin'.

Oh yeah, this one would probably even fit fine in a Jazz Bass cavity. But I think a resonant one would be more fun as an onboard thing, eh?@Passinwind — If your new little unit fits 1590A, that's small enough for one of my bass' cavities... just sayin'.

Yeah, I've got the Black Jaguar Twins (non-identical). One's a passive PJ, the other is an active MM-ish humbucker.

ok not exactly a pedal, but an ups, i changed all capacitors but i can't find these relays in europe or equivalent, the problem it gives me is a continuous clack and suddenly it goes completely off, so i guess it's the relays , the battery is ok.

I'm slowly working through my stash of old onboard preamps etc. with an eye to what might work for you...
might show pics later, I tore the shartcaster apart to FINALLY put my tex-mex p-ups in and redrill the headstock so the klusons aren't so sloppy and I"m looking at the grain poking out I said to myself, flogg it, time to redo the filler work, stick some wood in the big hole so I can change from a bottom loading tremolo to a top loading hardtail before I paint it something other than rattle can red!
