Now I gotta think of something I need from Fig!
I know what I need

New addition to the Peak LCR45...these are real useful. The LCR-45 already had the micro-bananas, so an easy upgrade!

Here’s the better part of the mess.

Germaniums are in a grid tied to a database that lists part number, source, gain, leakage, and grid coordinates.
 
I put these together Saturday; first a UMI Buzz Tone. I eliminated the volume expander switch because it did nothing more than replace the fuzz with mud, and a muddy tone isn’t quite the “dirt” I was after.

…and a Tone Bender MKII, which I plan to enclose in the near future. I breadboarded one of these awhile back but ended up stealing some parts from it so here’s another. Forgive the funky schematic.

This reminds me sick prices of the vintage transistors.. but here's the question to all of you:

what's the most expensive, single component you've purchased? How much did you pay?
Transistor, IC, diode..
Shipping excluded :)

So far.......an FV-1 chip

:unsure: I’ll get back to you
 
Should be separate category for the hardware...
as for now - let's focus on the "small, but crazy expenisve" stuff :)

Output transformers not allowed. Same with the speakers :)

Looks like in most cases items like FV1, beltons, are probably most expensive.
