hard work on wurly-1 and 6 other things accomplished today (or otherwise recently)
So I got to work on the final preps of what’s going to be Andy’s wurly. I’m going to ship it, so to reduce weight, etc, I’m going to take the bottom/ speakers off. I’m also going to add a line-out and re-route the power, of course. I’d done the power to this one already and the line-out seems pretty trivial so I set about trying to figure out how to take the bottom off. I basically spent 3.5 hours taking 8 carefully placed screws out. Now that I know where they all are and how to take them out without completely screwing up the hammer action of some notes to the point where I have to take off the pickup plate in order to fix my mistakes, I think I’d be able to do it in about half an hour.
I need to pick up a couple resistors and a capacitor to do the line-out line. should be fairly easy.
