Well today I finished the Electrical hookups on my CBA (Cigar Box Amplifier). I took some blue gasket sylicone and place a couple of leather tabs for the motherboard and also used it to stick some wire in a corner to hold it down. Took some Duct Tape (Handyman's secret weapon) and taped in the batteries so they won't come out. Everything needs a little duct tape on it to complete the project you know. Tomorrow I'll give it a full blown test run. I'm excited to hear how it sounds completed. I have given it a test run but not with all components in and the lid closed solid. I put a speaker in that has a larger magnet than on the original cassette player. I need to find a 6v power supply. I through a bunch away no more than a week ago, knowing I'd probably need one. Common thing when you purge. No sooner than you do it you find out you needed it after all.
I can’t decide if I want to Tung oil it or just leave it unprotected. Probably use the Tung Oil. On my CBG I have left it alone. I’m just going to let it wear. I sure have a hankering to build a 6 string CBG just because I want a smaller framed guitar to play while watching TV. Also it won’t resonate so well and be loud. Until I plug it in to an amplifier. With a good pickup and pot WOW what next?
