Wow, nice work freddy!

My list of projects is as follows:

4x MK7 Tube mics, ETA: 12 april 09.

This time not building the body myself..Using the cheap chinese thomann micbodies IOAUDIO recommended. Will stuff the boards tomorrow night, and hopefully be done with the whole thing in two weeks or so. Id really like to paint or otherwise mask the engraving on the bodies though so that people dont as easily mistake them for the cheap thomann mics. Any ideas?

1x D-AOC , ETA: late august 09

Boards are alsmost fully stuffed, just need to order a case and some nice meters. Would like to get a nice engraved panel aswell, but last time i ordered from "my" guy, it took about a year so im thinking i need to make a prototype panel atleast to get the thing working while i wait for the actual panel. Maybe finish sometime early summer/late spring?

1x Pm670 ETA: late august 09

Same as the DAOC, boards are pretty much stuffed. Need to get better tubesockets, the ones i ordered didnt fit in the holes in the pcb...damn it.
Case+meters are needed+ I need to wire the switches. Im just not sure how i want my switches yet... dB steps perhaps? I really want to finish this before the daoc, but theres so much wiring going on, itll probably not be finished until late summer if i know myself.

1x mini 2ch Baby animal for a friend, ETA: 1 may 09
Just need to hookup the gain/impedance/input/output and im done. Should take about 1hour, but i just cant seem to get to it.

OT maybe, but im also working on 6 broadband absorbers for my livingroom. 4 are finished, and two wooden frames, insulation and fabric is waiting for me at home. Estimated finishtime, about 1 month, or as soon as I can get some help with them (its really a two man job).
Will have a big party after they finished which I will name the "better sound party". Tight and punchy bass on the dancefloor, yeah! (im a nerd, i know...).  ;D ;D ;D
ETA: 1 june 09

Knowing myself, i will probably start another project as well as soon as i forget how much the last one cost me. Problem is theres just too many cool projects to choose from.

Thats my confessions, not as bad as others here maybe, but i feel im getting there.

Jokan ' for accountability you need to list projected completion dates next
to the items , that way we can " help "  .... that remind you
if it seems too much list only the next one or two you expect to finish
regards
 
Ok! My planning is a big mess though, so these would have to be guesstimates on ETAs. ;)

Will try to update above post soon!

I may have to decline on my first posting about building a pair of Neve preamps. I just spent some time at another studio using the real ones X's2 and some "Neveish" ones. I'm gonna build more API's. But my finish date has not changed! But will be API's.

hopefully will finish up my 2nd LA2 tomorrow.  with any luck it'll work fine like the last one did and i can put the lid on it.  then onto a collins restoration project, a 212 console w (9) 356a preamps and a 356e limiter inside.  main job will be wiring all the internal patch points to patchbay.  due date?  how bout..  may 5.

Sorry, the Collins was finished about a month behind schedule, the Gates should have already been done, and are next.  I'm out of town for 7 days, so I'll say April 5th for the first of the Gates.  If I get lucky I'll do two of them side by side and call it the 7th for the pair. 
 
Roughly one Gates SA-39 finished; two in progress with one 95% and some redundant assembly line stuff done on the second.  On target. 
 
Great thread, all. I'm really liking the cheerleadering for each other. Keep it up!

I have this 2-1176revD that has been sitting with boards stuffed for months, just waiting for me to do the metal work. I want to use it on two upcoming mix projects, that I'm currently tracking the material for. So it has to get done!

Due Date: May 3rd
 
cheerleading [ i don't look good in a skirt ] maybe BUT

accountability

which reminds me to get back on it , no excuses
even paying gigs ...............well o.k better to make than spend

way to get a date on it skipwave
 
Both SA-39's rebuilt, modified, tested, and trouble-shot.  Typical discovery of PSU power resistances drifted way off in both.  Each from different eras, both sound a bit different. 
 
I'm ashamed.
I just havent completed anything on schedule..

1176 was supposed to be done on march and i did closed the lid last week.

FetSonics: still unfinished..new date: End of August

Next: GSSL around the mid September.
        4 x S800 EQ's by the end of september.
        2 Greens by October.
        2 EZ1290's for november.
        and then Tube stuff...
