HOLY SNAUZERZ!

HE REPLIED! AND HE'S SUPER COOL!

Hello (Hossrex):

Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate them.

If you are really serious about building a replica Brown Box using the original circuitry, then use the atached schematic..it's the best I ...

Actually looked into this once. Problem is the transistors used are no longer being produced. You will have to find an equivalent.

Hurm... darnit.

Suggestions? Or was the unavailability of a substitute why you gave up?

Darn it. I already got myself all pumped to give it a try.

Hey! Wow... thanks for the nice, quick replies!

She's crazy. Tell her to take her pills, and use an extra absorbent tampon.

What are you talking about? Thats my video. It was shot using split screen, and I was both boxers. I shot the first part of the video, gained a hundred pounds, died my hair black, pretended to suck, and shot the other half.

Cool video though.

Yes. Minimodding *is* annoying.

Freaking amazing man...

I'm leaning towards using wood to make my case once I get around to this... but even the amazing case I have in my mind... that I wouldn't be able to actually pull off... isn't as nice as the piece you've successfully created.

Just... wow...

Its not just like... out there ...

That was my exact thought when he said "when I touch this spot, it clears up".

Maybe run a connection between that spot and a ground?
