I wondered if anyone would pickup on that . I had a couple of the powermates (in silver) floating around. After disassembley i found that the only part that i could use was the clear diffraction ring. So i made the Ali/copper knob and base, and cut some prototyping board to fit and soldered the leds in.

I was given a metal forming machine last Xmas (tools for Xmas...yes please), it cuts folds and rolls sheet up to 1.2mm. The case lid is my first results from it

cheers

I had some black left over after spraying my bike so i used that. I'm really unhappy about the primer though. I didn't have any etch primer, so i used regular...big mistake. It flakes of realy easily, so i might have to strip it and do it properly

Very exotic casework there, Selexus. Congratulations. Are those two copper-colored tubes strictly cosmetic? Do they contain anything?

The power transformer looms rather close to the input circuitry on the PPA board, though. Do you notice any induced hum?
