Hmm, what's that copper colored choke all about? Looks like Tellurium copper binding posts and a cream colored chicken head knob. Hey, is that walnut?

What do you suppose this is all about?

Hmm. The chicken head knob screams guitar amp to me, as does the shielded choke. Walnut looks like an end piece for a Hammond enclosure so i would have said DIY amp project, or guitar amp but that doesn't fit with Bottlehead. And i don't see how any of those parts would fit a current Bottlehead product either.  I'm stumped, need another clue...

Black, wrinkle finish powder coat.  I did the same in the chassis for my old Firstwatt F5 I built years ago.  Very handsome, this must be a custom, one off project. 

What are you up to over there?  ;)

Nope, not black wrinkle powdercoat. Bronze hammer finish acrylic lacquer. I guess I will have to give some more clues tomorrow. ;)

That chassis plate could be a mainline, but then the binding posts don't make sense.  Could be a new model as Bonzo suggests, but then why the custom walnut and binding posts...

I like that guess, but that's not what we are doing. I'll put up some more pics in a bit.
