When I was a little kid I used to like shorting charged caps. Sort of like point welding. I'm pretty sure this thing could produce ball lightning when properly shorted

I also liked blowing up caps by feeding them wrong polarity current. Later I found out old caps contain dioxins and such.

Carbon aerogel vs electrolytic film.

Very impressive job with this. I love the attention to detail and the fact this is a "finished" project, worthy of actual consumer production.

I wanted the same design of FAS.

The small capacitors are dropped quickly to give the current.

this is without doubt the best custom project I've seen on here, awesome! might only be 1.6farrad but if PG made one back then this is about as big as they could have made it with current cap technology so keeping in with the retro theme..

BIG WELL DONE

I agree it's up there as one of the best PG phorum custom jobs.

One of the other ones that caught my attention is the ZPA0.8 on here. Dunno if it was ever finished.

QUESTION: how did you go about getting the script/artwork on the end plates...? was that screened?

With my process of artwork and coating - i am unable to get it artwork on darker colors.

and perhaps you / it has been mentioned previously in thread but just dont recall.
and lazy to rerad all through it agian for the third/fourth time

Hi Matt
I'm on the dark background of a white man and then applied pink paint.
Finally, the label was affixed and sealed with clear lacquer.

But unfortunately there are still missing some parts, such as ports. There will be many more photos of the building but a little patience ..

Geri

Yeah! Good luck with it. A little more patience will have a good results.
