Title: Eros done after 1 year
Post by: yoshi800 on January 04, 2018, 01:07:26 PM

Finally finished! Did I set a record for slowest build? I started last year just before having to move my residence. Well it sounds great with my setup and now I can play the records I got back in high school. Thanks bottleheads!

Nice banding on the base, good looking build. Interesting that you oriented the transformer end to the front.

Oh no! I built the thing backwards!!! Just joking -the plate  is just flipped around. No worries!

The base is the kit's original base stained Minwax antique pine and the banding is from Rockler Woodworking. 2 coats of polyurethane after staining. The bell is Rustoleum metallic bronze. That's it.

Looks neat congrats on being up and running, I have one or two build projects that  seem to have been on hold for ages, funny how life just gets in the way and that happens.
