I often send things out before I get a chance to photograph the guts. Albini-style Harmonic Percolator clone on a Stomptown Electronics PCB for my brother. I built it about three years back. A little messy on the wiring, but consistent and reliable. #midwestmodulation #diyaudio #diyelectronics #diypedals

Stripping tiny jumpers of wire wrap wire isn't my favorite, but it's done. #midwestmodulation #diyelectronics #electronicsrepair

Airline 62-9023A - the same circuit as the Supro S6424. Interesting old amp with the Supro version famously used by Jimmy Page (maybe). This one has had a wild life with quite a bit of work done to it over the years and it needed quite a bit more to get it back functional.
