Seems you are right about this being plastic :D

Digikey is good to deal with. I bought a bunch of chipquick solder and flux. Check out specsheets and chipquick wsite to find what you need.

Lol If u feel this about it, its probably not for you. I wouldnt want an amp like this:

Its practial and unpretentious, but still a design they kept and evolved for decades.

The wood here is palisander/rosewood. They should bring more wood into designs I think. With these old japanese devices its a nice balance and absolutely not overdone. This is "pale moon ebony" pew! My personal favourite. Price of this makes rosewood seem cheap :o This wood isnt...

Analog VU´s is almost always a hit!

Impressive! What can I say, lots of love went into that settup!

I used to do some furniture woodworking so I have alot of slabs and pieces here. Cherry, walnut and some teak. Plus i bought some oak and mahogany dirt cheap at a thrift store. @MAB like your thinking about using the stuff you have Just bought a dewalt 621 router and my heads spinning with...

Nice DIY!
