It's slow going but coming along.  The open space will be for a solid state after burner.  

The plexi thing is contagious.  Caught it from a neighbor north of me.

Jack, what are you going to use for a microphone?

Looking good jack. I wish I had the time!  Maybe I will order one and put it away until I have some down time!

Also. That is a really nice Yellow Zonker there in that first picture. I have two of those and a new in the box T123B. I have not used them in 10 years but I am sure they work still.

I've got one of these kits too!  Might be a few more weeks until I have time to put it together. Great idea on using the Johnson case for it. I was a fan of the Benton Harbor Lunch Box case, but I'm having second thoughts about gutting any of mine, though a few are admittedly junkers.

I'm not expecting to make any contacts on mine barefoot either. Wink
