Probably too late but covering the ground in heavy black polythene does wonders to reduce humidity.Bg wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 6:08 pmThe good thing is that after binning most of my workshop last weekend, I can work in there in bad weather now. Normally I have to wait for dry days so I can work outside... I've got dust extraction as well nowNeed to set up some more semi permanent workbenches for router table, bandsaw etc.
Bad news is that its still damp, no proper retaining walls or drainage. Crap really.

Way too late, theres a concrete pad in the basement and only a token gesture as to stopping soil/screed slipping in past the half rounds. I'll leave it for the next owner.

That's a very professional conversion job.

Re: Victor 16mm film projector amp
That’s a pretty cool review. Groks with my experience to a degree…I’ve plugged into one of my B+H Model 601 amps that has the accompanying speaker (alnico Goodmans Axiom 12) cab and it sounded pretty much like this, straight up. Very middly and stiff with little compliance/transient sensitivity. A voice focused sound with little bass or treble extension…not a modern guitar tone at all, more a kind of vintage charm like an old Silvertone or Harmony.
I highly suspect that given the right speaker, a more eloquent translator as it were, the full spectrum and nuance available would come through. Take the gag out of it’s throat. You can kind of hear it wants to scream but the speaker doesn’t want to party. Maybe a G12H30? But yeah, after a component sort out for safety and reliability.
As design pieces, the older cabs are really cool. Typical of their era: curves and lines evoking a late, industrial Deco vibe.
I’ve posted about those Mars, Hooks and Krinnard cats before. Here’s a Hooks on Reverb.com…

At that price, some one is taking them seriously
