Time Machine Bass Project - Build Thread

[Doner Designs]

That was a heck of a ride.

Just went from August 20, 2015 to now November 27, 2018.

I saw the design phase to the build mock ups, even saw your Daughter get Married and your Boy turn into a Man with his own place in about 15 minutes.

Something went wrong though... the journey stopped before the build was completed.
I think I am stuck in November 27, 2018.

Ha ha...thanks for the trip down memory lane. Man we have been at this one for a loooooong time!

Finished rear cavity wiring except for a switch that broke today. It all works and there is no noise in the audio circuits from the time circuits.

I’m terrified it won’t fit in the cavity.

Don't even think that....

It fits but I ran into electronics trouble. Need help from Richard to fix.

Steve, I had radio gear assigned to me in 1968 that could talk to Navy ships on Yankee Station and B-52s at 30,000 feet. They had less technology than this bass.

Well you know time travel can get pretty complicated.

If devices made to look retro steam powered are "steam punk" and devices made to look retro art deco are "diesel punk", what would one call a device made to look like 1980s DeLorean time machine tech? Cyber punk is already taken, and that comes from the 80s as well...
