Curious items showing up in the warehouse

[Doc B]

Hmm, what's that copper colored choke all about? Looks like Tellurium copper binding posts and a cream colored chicken head knob. Hey, is that walnut?

What do you suppose this is all about?

 

[Natural Sound]

Do tell.

 

[mcandmar]

Hmm. The chicken head knob screams guitar amp to me, as does the shielded choke. Walnut looks like an end piece for a Hammond enclosure so i would have said DIY amp project, or guitar amp but that doesn't fit with Bottlehead. And i don't see how any of those parts would fit a current Bottlehead product either.  I'm stumped, need another clue...

 

[marantzfan]

I don't know.  But one things for sure.  It'll be pretty. 

 

[Doc B]

Here's another puzzle piece -

 

[marantzfan]

Black, wrinkle finish powder coat.  I did the same in the chassis for my old Firstwatt F5 I built years ago.  Very handsome, this must be a custom, one off project. 

What are you up to over there? 

 

[Doc B]

Nope, not black wrinkle powdercoat. Bronze hammer finish acrylic lacquer. I guess I will have to give some more clues tomorrow.

 

[Bonzo]

Are you speaking (and showing) some details of the SEX Substitute?  :

 

[mcandmar]

That chassis plate could be a mainline, but then the binding posts don't make sense.  Could be a new model as Bonzo suggests, but then why the custom walnut and binding posts...

Maybe a Kaiju?

Guitar Head Amp

I like that guess, but that's not what we are doing. I'll put up some more pics in a bit.

 

[Doc B]

some more bits

 

[Chris65]

A S.E.X replacement? 8)

 

[Alonzo]

A 45 S.E.X replacement? 

 

[Doc B]

Nope, but this would make a very elegant S.E.X. replacement.

 

[Jamus]

I vote for a tricked-out Seductor amp

edit: that knob though... Stereomour?

 

[Natural Sound]

I'll come back in a week or so. I suck at Charades.

 

[Doc B]

Tomorrow we shall share some info on this very special project.

Great looking base!
