Just completed my Crack the day before yesterday.

It's sexy and sounds fabulous. Thank you very much, Doc. B and the awesome Bottlehead team!

Here are some pics:

The Speedball PC boards were also assembled last night.

Won't connect them to my functional Crack until I get a good handle on the stock Crack sound...really can't wait, plan to install them this weekend  :)

Thanks. I used some Rust-Oleum multicolour spray paint that I picked up from a local Home Depot.

It's inspired by another Crack owner on head-fi. He used some spray paint that looks like the rock surface. I initially wanted to pick up the same paint, but then I found it's easy to peel off (from the sample in the store) and finally decided to settle on this one.

I suspected Rust-oleum as it looks great.  Jamie did a few cracks with that stone/slate finish which looked really great too, probably the one you seen on headfi :)

Indeed, Rust-oleum is great. Very likely Jamie is the source of inspiration.  :)

Jamie's workmanship is awesome. I especially like the one he built with black fiberglass.

Thanks Jamie, good to see you here  :)

Forums are real good. Without forums I could never come to know this amazing OTL amp   :D
