Unique enclosures- Fryer Treblemaster heating valve- what’s yours?

[Steve Blackdog]

Hi Folks

I thought I would share my recent treble booster project. I made it largely from stuff I had lying around. It is the Fryer Treblemaster with added switched input, led and 3pdt switch with true bypass. AC128 pnp Germanium transistor.

It it super awesome!

Here’s the schematic and a picture (light on of course!). You will see I used an old central heating motorised valve case for my enclosure, which added immensely to my satisfaction!

I am thinking of a Fuzz Face in an old pipe tobacco tin.

Does anyone else have any good recycled enclosures?

Killer idea

How about a Macintosh as a home for a JCM 800? https://amps.monkeymatic.com/2015-mo...-mac-pro-2203/

Looks like a Bud Box, the standard sheet metal enclosure popular in 1960's-70's.

Way long time ago, I had a defunct countertop toaster/broiler cabinet into which I intended to install an amp. Glass front so you could see the innards, lots 'o chrome, and proudly displaying the very appropriate product name: "Roto-Broil 400." Got lost in a move way back when, so nothing ever happened. Just an idea that came & went.

Something like this:

MAny little things have been built into Altoids mints tins.

I have a couple emepty peanut tins from Hubs I have a hankering to build a small tube amp into.

I already posted this, but here's a vintage style delay built into an old three channel mixer case I made a year ago - description here;

that is fantastic - thinking outside the box!!

many people have made Ammo Box amps but this one is the first commercial unit I've seen , from BC Audio, $2100!

I am all for recycling!, here is one (of about 6 I snagged) nice boxes used in GE (now Cytiva) UV detectors we have at my company


They cost $2800 and are replaced free on our service contracts. Inside is a stout PCB and some odd shielding

and on the PCB...a beautiful ceramic Noval B9A socket holding a $800 Xenon light source, which is all that ever goes bad.

Huh.
They labeled the diode 'V600'.
Never saw a V for a rectifier.
