I don’t know if you’ll all be able to see this as it’s a link to Facebook, but can anyone tell me what this bloke’s on about? I think I may once have smoked the same stuff he did…

I think it's a modern equivalent to this

Why is it necessary as I thought you said it was functional?


It's functional but from what I have been able to see (without stripping everything down) I have some reservations about the state of a couple of the electrolytic caps, so I thought it might be best for longevity to swap them out. I ...

I had a peek under the hood and decided on discretion so have ordered some replacement capacitors - it'll be a tedious task but necessary i think.

I seem to have projects coming out of my ears at the moment! The same neighbour who gave me the Celestion Ditton speakers has now gifted me a Technics SL-D3 direct drive turntable, dating, like the Celestions, to the 1970s/1980s.

Very nice looking 'phones, Steve. Take it steady with the rework.

I used my upgraded reflow oven 'in anger' this morning - populated a couple of PCBs for a MosFet amplifier project.

I loved the mods , I'd still have them if I hadn't fallen for 12 inches .


In another life I might have been tempted with ...

I had some spare time this morning and have renovated the speakers are far as i can until the Chinese tweeters arrive. The cabinets have had a good clean - amazing how much came off them and they look a bit better for it. I've fitted new binding posts and replaced the original caps in the crossover ...
