It looks to me like you're doing a shit job of building a Dalek more than anything else

Good/great work. I understand slightly less than fuck all of what you are doing, but well done anyway

[PhilA]

Well, it's complete.

Does it work?

Bit more fine tuning to go.

Yup. That'll do. Need to make some standoffs for the Bluetooth board so it'll sit in the bottom of the case but I'm happy with how that sounds.

A fine piece of music I instantly recognised, but couldn't place or name immediately. Had to wait until I got home and found it in my music folder on my PC.

Then I bothered to watch the clip on YouTube rather and read your note. DOH!

"Collect" is from 1973 album "Black Pearl" by Alan Hawkshaw and Alan Parker.

On my HDD, the mp3 file date is stamped 07/06/2003, I probably acquired it before then and may have changed computers. I probably downloaded it back in the days of Napster.

Be amazed, I actually own my copy on CD.

I didn't think it was too bad a piece of music to demo with... Typically it met with derision elsewhere.
There's no accounting for anybody's musical tastes.

Test fit.

Success.

(Best played with the volume at 11)


Jump to 2.35 if the music is not to your taste and watch the light show.

Ha. Well, these being internal beam pentodes you don't get to see the glow (like you can with the little hole in an EL34, for instance).

Shot a short video. Editing blip just to remove 6 seconds of awkward silence as my old phone decided to be slow to pair to the Bluetooth.
