This has also been a great opportunity for me to get more comfortable with Fusion 360 and the process of creating technical blueprints.

I can't afford the wonderful microphones produced by AEA, so I've been working on a ribbon microphone motor based off a combination of their specs and the original patents for the RCA 44.

Here's a short video of the ribbon tuning process from last night.

Me at every vintage shop I walk into.

Here’s how it was from the factory (worked perfectly fine for nearly 20 years mind you, but I felt compelled to put some of my own effort into it)

Doing all the dumb overkill shit for my old highschool telecaster. Turning it into a western swing lead guitar. Moderately proud of this wiring job I did for the control panel.

Committing my telecaster to be a “country lead” guitar from here on out.

Testing out routing and engraving guitar pedals! Took three tries and $45 dollars but we got there.

Have fully inherited my mom’s love of needlessly shuffling and rearranging rooms every six months.

It feels very funny to own something that oozes so much “ViNtAgE tOnE.” But rubber bridge baritone with gold foil pickups does sound really nice

There were things that I liked about the kitchen when we bought this house, but the styrene tile falling off the walls, the linoleum peeling up, and the torn wallpaper were not among them.

A friend refurbed this 60’s Teisco I bought for $30 10 years ago and it’s now my favorite instrument to pick up and fuck around with.

I built this amplifier from trash parts no one wanted, a laptop charger, an old shirt, and a $3 audio chip from alibaba.

So, I’ve been compiling a list of the gear that #ArthurRussell used across the early to mid 80’s from photos, interviews, books, and many many gracious emails with friends and family of his. If anyone on here has any other ideas insight or ideas on specific gear he used, I’d be much obliged.

Life is easier when you have a color palette you’re working with.

Look at how antisemitic the og hamburglar design was.

This is my recreation of the preamplifer for the famous Vox UL730, which is kinda known as “The Beatles” amp.

I made it my goal about a and a half ago to build any gear I wanted from scratch, so I’ve been making a “modular guitar amplifier” via hand built preamp circuits and a power amplifier.

Perfect evening so far.
