Ok.....so, since you are down under, should you put the melded on top of the CD boxes so the folks at the equator get better dispersion?

Just wondering.......

Another excellent build thread, Grant. They look excellent! One day I'll use this as the DR standard for when I decide to quit being a chicken and build some for myself. Thank you!

Fix up this thread (Done).
Sick to death of photo hosting watermarks and nasty e-mails from Photobucket.
I've removed as many pics as I can that were hosted, and replaced them with the originals.

Lots of cleaning up lol, including the truck.
I really want to get my LED's into road cases, either made or bought, we'll see.
A couple of amps to repair.
A 40M multicore to reterminate.

There's always something to do in this business right?...

I don't know about "standard".

Just give yourself plenty of time, and use fresh ply...

Hey Grant,

Great looking cabs!
I especially like the stacking brackets! :clap:

Also, thanks for going back and re uploading all the old photos!
It could be invaluable help to future builds, and made re-reading through a lot more fun for me too! :hyper:

I’ve been plugging away at the second pair of these for ages, then there’s the mounting brackets. I called them done, and they now are :hyper:
Today is Anzac Day in Australia, where we remember all who served, especially at Gallipoli.
Due to the virus, we couldn’t have our usual large services with marching and so on.
My brief was to “broadcast “ the service so our village could hear it at 6am.

Those came out really nice Grant. Good job.

Weird, couldn't quote and post when you mentioned pics being sideways Bruce.
Hopefully sorted that.

I get now what you mean about CD's with Piezo's, so much smoother.

Did I say I love these designs?
I had em stinking loud this morning, all over the village heard them, but they were sooooo clear...

Thousands of WWII US GIs who were stationed in Oz were eternally grateful to the ANZACs... for having been shipped out to North Africa. :clap:
Rommel wasn't so happy about it, though.
