Howdy all,
Well, I think it's about done. It sounds really impressive amped up but I will have to have another look at the wiring 'cos there is a buzz there, might be a crappy joint or hopefully something simple, shouldn't be allowed to let blind old men loose with soldering irons! Anyhoo, here are some pics, not too bad for a first go, and it won't be my last.
Cheers
