I have been wondering about that. It still could show up, 6 weeks is about when I start worrying.

Still waiting for a few thingamajigs; 5f1 chassis, 5e1 output transformer and turret-board, a few more yummy tube sets and tasty capacitors…
I scored both the chrome and blackout 5e3 chassis, maybe do a blackface reverb version next?

I just hope it comes out half as nice as your amp build.

I'm sure it will! You do nice work @figI just hope it comes out half as nice as your amp build.
Crap, I need to finish up the 18-watt first. It has been camping on the amp stand too long.
Ok, so this how long I've been messing around with DIY guitars (and also dates me....HAH). My first guitar build, I had to order all the parts from a Warmoth paper catalog and a StewMac paper catalog. I still have and play that guitar, it's actually old enough to be "vintage" I thinkReminds me of ordering from the Sears & Roebuck catalog.![]()

It will be featured in an upcoming (hopefully sometime this week) Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar episode.
This thing says is also tests transistors. Have you tried that? Does it give you any more info than the T7? or T1?I was looking for what I consider a necessity, but haven’t read much about here, an IC tester. One of the reasons I build these boxes of love, is to learn this stuff. I appreciate the ability to test each component being used on a build. I don’t test resistors unless biasing, but I could…and that’s kinda my point I guess, but hey…that’s my groove.
I bought an Amazon special. It performs good egg /bad egg testing on a variety of ICs. I thought of bridging a couple of pins to see how it responded, but I’d rather put it through the paces with a suspected fake chip, as well as a few fried, zapped, and otherwise abused devices.
That said, I’ve decided to purposely disable a few in the name of science….okay and because it’s an excuse to blow stuff up. I’ll derail the opamps, decompress the compressors, make logic chips illogical, and so on!
