Prototype Frantone The Sweet Repair
🕑 Added 2019-01-22 22:37:34 +0000 UTCOne of the Frantone The Sweet prototypes I made and sold back in 2000 has come back to the shop for repair, so I took the opportunity to show it in this video. It reveals some of my proven techniques for prototypical construction which I still use today. Enjoy!

Shoe Goo is still available and still great. E6000 or GOOP is great too,

As we say in New Zealand, “Sweet As” :-) I really enjoyed this look into how prototypes are built (or were in the 1990s), and how to check/repair a somewhat “one off” circuit. Thanks for recording the repair process. Ewen
Think he means an auditive demo, not green fluorescence - lol. Yes, as a non-musician myself, it would be great to hear these effects. When you say pedal, is this box mounted inside a pedal like contraption activating that switch? Can't imagine a rock guitarist gently reaching for the switch with the point of his shoe...
Who could have guessed that the Heathkit signal tracer would be "pressed" into service so soon after building?

But it's on the scope....

Demo! Need a demo! Gotta have a demo!
The Frantone industry is quite similar to the kilnminder (my invention) business.
Shoe Goo. And then there was Shoe Goo II, not as smelly and not as good.

And *that's* why it's not hoarding!
Got me laughing with the alternative use of the Heathkit signal tracer

Your method of using epoxy to mount the standoffs to the panel looks like a good idea. I'm just about to change the controller board in my DIY CNC machine and this method looks like something I could use to simplify this upgrade. Thanks for the idea.
So this was actually pretty cool and interesting. I have to admit though, that I really don't understand these "pedal effect" gadgets. I gather they are a big part of what you do, or did? Any chance you could actually make a video demonstrating these puppies?

I remember using that kind of (smelly!) glue building models when I was a kid, we just called it rubber cement in the UK. Haven't seen any around for a while.
