Finally, got this thing done. No, I haven't heard it since I sprayed the box with bedliner.

Do bolts of static electricity come from the brass ball?

The switches are for the battery power. I should have used only one, for the D cells, as the 9 Volt batts don't require one.
But the two switches look so cool.
Do you softly say "Igor, throw the switch!" when you turn it on? (...or do you shout it out loud and then cackle madly?)
I have killed batteries by forgetting to turn the switch off. I wonder if a knife edge switch would be an obvious reminder.

Not obvious enough. I have recently killed a pair of D cells. I did scream, "Igor, throw the first switch!" but will never repeat it. Somewhere, under the floorboards of my humble home(circa 1930), I heard a reply. "Hold your horses, I'm in the biffy."
Two switches ARE better than one as far as looks go. I tried one large switch at first, but it looked out of place.
"My grandfather used to work for your grandfather." It never gets old.

No silly, they go TO the brass ball.Grainger49 said:
If I didn't mention before, truck bed coating was used to paint this, and vinyl damping sheets were used throughout the interior. Sorbothane feet were chosen for obvious reasons, and Sorbothane rings were used on the underside of the tube sockets, making contact with every pin. Sorbothane was also used on the tubes themselves. Having said all that, I agree with the majority that this pre-amp is one of the best that I have ever heard. Quite amazing.
Hey Greg - those are some cool DAMPING ideas there. Truck bed coating. Looks good, durable, and good damping qualities. I knew you would come up with something to deal with the base resonance. I guess now I have to think of something to get you obsessed over... humm... give me some time.

That's the same reason you should never spray bedliner on your bikini area.
I had the bumpers and rocker panels on one of my cars rhino lined, I haven't had to touch it since.

I'm thinkin toilet seat, bath tub, maybe even the roof of my house. Seriously, if I were rich, I bet there are quite a few great uses for the stuff.

That texture would be pretty abrasive...
Roofing might be interesting though!

A non-skid toilet seat. Eric, is that a problem you are having?

Eric's condition may be due to the cheap liquor he chooses.
Just to be complete the box was made from cedar wood. Don't it matters, but it sure allowed the bedliner to stick. Another thought is to use the paint process normally used in bath tub reconditioning. I tried it on the bottom of the deck of my lawn mower, but the grass still stuck to it. Did I mention that I like to experiment?
