Well, I can’t fix my photobucket account as I can’t even access it as I’ve not found the email associated with it. I’ll find it eventually.
Photobucket has really messed things up around here.
I’ve been using postimage
https://postimages.orgThey are free...currently, but I’ve been fucked over by two hosting sites in the past years so I take it nothing is permanent.
The DIY scene has changed a lot since I was here last. Much more information seems to be freely shared on the web, no doubt almost entirely due to this site and its members.
Also, I notice many DIYers making - or having made - professional quality PCBs. I still draw mine by hand.

unless it’s a complicated thing then I’ll just buy one.
I also see tons of PCBs of numerous effects for sale. A good thing!
I decided to get the Sunn Model T and Acapulco gold PCBs from Das Musikding (kits actually as I’m out of some of the parts and they seem to be value enough).
There’s a few preamps I want to build aside from above like the Sunn Beta Lead, etc.
Going through my parts containers I noticed I still have numerous sets of Germanium transistors (AC128), some unknown, and even a set of “Zvex” printed ones which I pulled from a fuzzfactory and replaced with some others I liked better. lol...I’d forgotten about it and since sold it to some guy in Seattle.

IIRC it still had the large caps I put in it. The guy never emailed me after delivery so I guess he liked it.
I have a couple hundred Russian KT3102EM Transistors, the exact Green Sovtek BMP ones; and a couple hundred diodes Sovtek used too. A couple of TL071, 741, 4558, BS170, etc. Mostly all my parts are BMP, Sovtek, woolly mammoth, and fuzz related/values etc. I still have enough parts to make a handful of SHOs and call it a distortion!

I think I’m just going to make the preamps I want, assemble all my enclosureless fx I had previously made and call it a day. There’s really nothing much new in almost ten years.
