Title: Fabbed Wolfshirt Build
Post by: buckysde on April 08, 2011, 05:42:25 PM
Here are the photos form my Wolfshirt build.  Thanks to the fabled boards, it fired right up on the frost try!  The germanium diodes were delicate and I broke two of them.  Fortunately, I had some sprares.  There is fuzz and volume a-plenty!  I think I'll call it "The Red Menace"...

Looks great man.
This circuit can get gross real fast, in a good way haha.

Well done! Shame about breaking the diodes. With germs, I usually bend one lead very carefully and hope for the best. I've broken a few in my day :)

The idea is to add that iconic image of Stalin and put a hammer/sickle/star where the LED is.  I need to experiment with water-slip decals first.  I will post the results.

Nice transistors! And you have the real 1N34A's!
I wanna do the layout for mine the same!! Except with velvet/felt.

What kind of transistors are those? Looks very nice.

Those are the 2N3565's from Smallbear.  I haven't played around with others yet.  But I socketed them in so I could experiment.

I got the 1N34a's from smallbear not knowing I already had some.  Good thing too as I broke two bending the leads.  At least I ha some spares.
