The Digital Doubt

[FuzzyAce]

Very cool. I love stuff like this.

Yeah me too. I went through a phase some years back going to antique stores almost every weekend.
If you get a chance share some pics too.

I'll hunt some out.

Ok, well it wasn't actually a rebuild so much as it was a straightforward replacement. And not exactly the most high end DJ turntable either.
Still cool though.

I wonder what could be done with this old box:

That's really cool. Build a guitar amp in it.

Either rebuild with modern electronics or try to fully restore, a labor of love kind of thing and accept its 'limitations'. Depends on what you want out of it?

Was thinking modern electronics, yeah. There's just nothing I'd really use it for, if restoring to original.

Dude! It's got a wave magnet! You could possibly attract all those waves!

That's why I strip most I'd the radios I buy for parts and rebuild something else inside them.

Some of the original parts are cool in guitar pedals and the broken radios themselves would only have ended up getting dumped eventually.

And that band selector's labels are incredible. "Police" and "Ships at Sea" - digging it!

Derailed threads packed with pages of pointless rambling can be really funny and entertaining! But they can also be like this one.

 

[jay mitchell]

It sounds like you are trying to say they can be equal.

That is exactly what I'm saying.

The pre amp, PI, output tubes/transformer/speaker relationship have a real -- in the moment energy.

You mean like an aura? What color?

You can't tell me they will feel the same,

I could tell you that, but I didn't. I said they can feel the same. Getting there is up to you. If you begin by saying something isn't even possible, you will be making a true statement. For you.

I mean, Digital Doubt was kind of a vague title anyway. It deserved to go in many directions, and it stayed mostly positive.

I’ve actually bitten into shot pellets while eating squirrel.
True story

Same here eating Pheasant and Duck as a kid. I learned to chew cautiously!

 

[DrewJD82]

Imagine if you went to a Dave Gilmour gig and he was playing a ( Peavey bandits through the ages ) Helix rig in to a Headflush 108. Just exactly the same as the regular rig, no difference in the graph.

I can certainly say I wouldn't give a shit, because I'd be seeing David Gilmour and there's no way he's going to sound anything but badfuckingass because he's David Gilmour.

Would I expect it? Definitely not. But it absolutely would not ruin my show.

Pheasant and duck, yes. Who’s harvesting squirrel with something other than a 22 or a pickup? You ain’t had road kill you ain’t livin’.

Local Church puts on a Wild Game Dinner every year, so I have pretty much tried it all
at this point.

Beaver and Bear are a tough ask for me to eat ever again. Frog Legs and Gator
are delicious. My personal faves over the years are always Elk and Caribou.

Wild boar -- nuisance invasive species AND delicious.

When it comes down to it we'd eat anything if we had to. Although I doubt I'd eat some of you guys... probably too chewy.

I can dress up like a Cow if it helps, FA!
