Since I foresaw I'd be very busy the coming days, worked extra to make this project presentable. Sprayed water-based Deft polyurethane on the case, oiled and waxed the table, oiled the stand. My soldering skills are really bad. Can't remove the old pot with broken shaft so just glued it for now.
SWMBO went out on some errands. So I went and assembled everything in the dining room where she loved to work. When she arrived, I had some nice Noel Cabangon music playing.
Disaster struck.
She saw the whole set-up and I could see revulsion in her face.
As it turns out, she has always wanted that space clear and open. I knew about it but thought the music in that space would change her mind.
Ahhh...well. Sometimes, surprises you contrive turn out surprising you in a bad way.
Took down the whole thing and almost burned them in the garage. Wala lang akong posporo...didn't smoke.
Day after, I guess SWMBO realized how much effort I put into it. I found that she assembled everything but in different places.
She put the sound system in the family room:
She put the table in the living room:
I guess I'll have to be content with that.
Here're some more photos of the still-unfinished amp. Still have to get that pot replaced and put some glass around the torroidal transformer and, pag sinipag, some blue LEDs.
