What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

Just got this PCB holder from Amazon for $15. Sure makes soldering a lot easier and nicer. I'm about finished with this Skeleklone.

I also ordered a Boss Katana 100 MK II that is already on BF sale. I hear these take pedals really well. But Guitar Center is taking their sweet time shipping it to me.

PPCB Chaos Machine, Clandestine Preamp and Caesar Chorus, the latter to try and break the PCBGM curse of my previous attempted build.
And when I break the curse I'll try to build a Death By Flaming Ring by "that site" and a Moonn Good Vibes

You need to build a guitar to put around them.

This is Michael we're talking about, he's going to learn to wind pickups just so he has something to put into these boxes once he's built the guitar for the tone hatches.

I put a cheeky offer in for this radio and surprisingly it was accepted. We'll see if I can salvage anything usable from it.

Looks like there's 4 Mullard trannys in there! Score!

 

[jwin615]

GuitarPCB goodies and a place to stick 600 more component values for $25.
Going to be replacing a lot of the 9 pocket pages though. They work but fatter baggies like to creep up and out of them.
Need to find bigger binders.

There should be 6. Fingers crossed they're not all dead or leaky as hell.

I can’t believe @Robert made you pay retail!

I figure for every discount code I don’t use Rob traces a pedal one day faster

Not even remotely gear related but it's the coolest little toy I've played with in years.

It was like $4, shipping included. (shipped from the USA, and arrived in a few days)

How in the hell do they do that?

Anything can be a sex toy if you try hard enough.

I got a load of really nice silicon transistors today. I cleared out the last bits that silicon ark had of bc183, bc184, bc108 and bc109. I also grabbed some Bc548 and Bc549 while I was at it. A few of them only had 1 or 2 left in some of the brands.

Just tested them all and I'm really pleased with what I picked up. I got some Philips bc108s with a 1986 date code that measure between 300 and 550 hfe and managed to get some fairchild and micro electronics bc183 and bc184 in the range I've been missing between 350 and 500 hfe. I also got some stupidly low gain Bc183l from micro electronics between 104 and 222 hfe, not sure what I'll use them for but I'm sure I'll think of something.

Thankfully there wasn't much in the 200-300 range as I already have tons of that. That seemed to be most of the values I've been getting for ages.
