Alemany Flea Market

Spent a couple hours this morning at the flea market. I scored a handful of germanium transistors including 9 RCA 2n408s. Those were the original equipment in the Mosrite Fuzzrite fuzz pedals. Also came across a couple Amperex BugleBoy 12AX7 preamp tubes and quite a few PIO capacitors at suitable values for guitar tone caps. I hope to start building a few transitor based fuzz boxes in the near future. Probably a Fuzzrite, a Harmonic Percolater, a Rangemaster, a two transistor and a 3 transistor Tonebenders. Its always easy to start projects like that. The hard part is finishing them.
