On a spinning wheel ride?

You know it. The last line of that song encapsulates the median response of audiences throughout my musical career. ;)

That wasn't very good. [laughter follows]

I've always called them "records" so count me clueless....oh wait..we've already painted that pony eh?

I call them that too. Or LPs and singles if I need to be more precise. I sold off many of mine years ago, I should sell off the rest. A few have sentimental value but most are just taking up space.

D'you mean: 'Someone's waiting just for you
Spinning wheel spinning through
Drop all your troubles by the riverside (this part)
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel fly.(?)'

The confusion is about what exactly is the last line, since different sources quote this differently.

FWIW I always loved Jim Fielder's bass-playing on that album, esp. on 'Blues: Part ii,' with a simple but compelling groove in the fast section. And if you can't drop all your troubles by the riverside, where else is there?
 
Hey, this Pharmacist pcb has some SOT-23 pads for 5457s so I get to use the EZ-Bake again. Those will go on first. I've got to flow a Raincoat module along with it. You know what that means.......more crappy phone pics! yay!

By the way, if you or anyone you know or bump into on the subway ever want to see something built, attempted, explained, etc., just let me know and I'll do my best to A) remember to do it, and B)....well I've forgotten what B was, but I'm sure it's just legalities and disclaimers in the finest of prints.
 
Great thread.
How about Byzantium Flanger, Duophase, Electrovibe (full or mini) not that I have those sitting waiting on my desk or anything 🤣🤦‍♂️🙄

Let's see....nope....got it....nope....got it. Strangely enough, the Byzantium and VIIB are the only two that I just don't feel like taking on. Maybe one day...but for now, I kinda have what I need. Already got decent vibrato and flangers. I mean, what good is one more of each? (famous last words)
 
I've no idea if I have the parts for those or not. I know I have some of the correct lamps and a pile of LDRs I can measure. I just got some 5088s so I can sort through those. A brief look at the pcb says I will need some stubby caps and some additional trimmers, but Mouser can fix that. How about we follow the Pharmacist with the Mini?
 
Yup, I needed the stubby ECs. Mouser was out of the ones prescribed in the parts list but I think I found some nice subs. I'll verify when they get here and give a link if they meet specs (I'm pretty certain they will). I had a matched set of LDRs and the correct bulb already put aside for this.

What does a non-stubby IC look like? 🤪

I was going to go all out on the Parmacist if I build it?
It was going into 120mm x 120mm Enclosure:

Update on The Pharmacist!

Nothing ground-breaking, but I did select and bake the 5457s on this morning. Naturally, I took some crappy phone pics, as I know how much you enjoy those! :)

One thing (of many I am certain) I failed to point out in my last EZ-Bake oven demonstration, was using the silkscreen for proper alignment. Our tallest saw fit to mark the FETs with a groovy little box, because well, take a look. You can't see the pads due to the paste! Granted, I went a wee heavy with it, but not too shabby.
