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 :P

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

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

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..

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.

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 ..
