Wolf, did you know that Nimbus is the name of the cat that lives at the Mount Washington Observatory?  :)

Rob, that is a very interesting fact to have learned.

Nimbus, sweet harbinger of fruition.
From a cloud of mystery, dost such magik reign.
Unbeknownst hither which direction, in notion.
Only thee hast the key for such motion.
In speculation and observation.

Wolf, I don’t see any Q switches, is there a reason you chose not to include them?

Rob, In the path of my mentation and deliberation to bring this instrument back to life, I chose to go the path of ”do no harm". Thus, installing a switch or knob function only to existing holes without drilling additional holes. I deliberated on the Q switches and decided not to have them for the initial rejuvenation.

I agree. You could always add them later if you felt they were needed.

Seems like I remember, in the absence of a switch, the Q is always on to it's maximum value. That would be pretty sweet with two filters and two volumes.

We have a black Norwegian Forest cat named Nimbus that lives in our neighborhood in Omaha. He’s not ours but comes to visit a lot. Very friendly.
