1590B Serendipity Build

[raulduke]

This is the Serendipity that I completed a while ago.

It sounds very.... Gentlemanly!

Very posh and refined 

I really like it  at low gain settings.

I found it a struggle fitting 4 knobs and everything else in a 1590B. Done it now though so my next 1590B build (Sabretooth) should go a lot easier.

Its metallic red but its quite hard to make out on the photos.

Hope you guys like!

Very clean! Love it...I love the look of four pots in this box.

Is that the rainbow ribbon wire from smallbear?  It said it was 26gauge and I thought that might be a little weak to deal with.  Very nice looking though.

No mate its 6 core ribbon cable cut into strips of 3.

It worked really well for this build. Guess its good when you have a board that has all the pot connections logically laid out like the serendipity board!

I got it from work as they were going to throw a reel out (it used to be used in some of our control systems in the 90's).

I'll be using it on any other build I can as well as it makes seems to make things easier.

I live in the UK so I haven't bought much from Small Bear to be honest.

Beautiful finish... was it hard to get?  Care to share your secret to a nice metallic paintjob?

Re: the finish.

Its just plastikote metallic red enamel spray paint mate. No secrets ha ha

I used quite a few coats of the stuff and then lacquered the hell out of it!

Looks ok but up close you can see imperfections. You live you learn I guess eh!
