Introduction
Hello everybody,
My name is Michael, I am 34, I live in Cyprus and I am a sys-admin by profession. This is my second build after a restoration of an old cab back in 2005.
I decided on sharing the details for this latest one in case others might find the read useful or entertaining. However, the real reason is to keep a record of the build process which for me, is actually more satisfying than finally owning the finished cabinet.
Work started in Nov 2010, with most of the electronics sourced in advance from various locations.
This page will be getting updated following the actual build which in turn heavily depends on my sparce spare time. (so be patient...)
