I posted a 12SR7 build I did of this in here a couple years ago (this post) and I just built another one for a friend who wanted one. This time I etched the front with control labels. The silly lizard poking his tongue out is a bit of an inside joke and he's also a big tumbleweed fan who have a...

yes thats normal, fully turned clockwise will put a pot at its max resistance. fully counter clockwise will give you 0, basically open circuit.    Unless its wired backwards of course.

do you have a multimeter? set the knob to where you'd like it and measure the resistance across it, thats the value resistor you need.

this is the biggest thing DIY is about for me, not saving money but getting exactly what you want because nobody else makes it yet.

thank you!

A friend of mine who had also built one of these had a heap of 12SR7s that he decided to ship all the way from NY (I live in Australia) to me for my birthday.     So far I had only built guitar amplifiers and guitar pedals so this was my first hi-fi project. So easy though!   First step...

I've never been able to find altoids tins in australia and they look so great for little projects like this

these all look great.   A few times I've seen these white styrofoam mannequin heads at a local shop and liked the idea of getting one and painting it up to look like a zombie or something and using as a headphone stand.

shoe glue of some sort would definitely be what I would use.
