tick em up on photobucket or imgur or somewhere like that. Resized to 800x600, then paste the forum code in here. it looks like

You have your security settings set so only friends can see photos. Photobucket is better.

That’s what the attachment button is for. Preview post just lets you see the posting before it is posted. If the attachment button is not working for you, your photos may be too large. That’s why Photobucket is easier. You can just dump everything there, resize them, and just post links so the photos don’t eat up the forum server space.

Photobucket wants you to join yes, but you get your own account were you can store and rearrange you pics in as many albums as you want. You dont have to keep a heap of URL’s in your bookmarks or re-upload pics every time you wana post them.

A photobucket account in just like an online photo album, I love photobucket, its great! They dont spam either!

Your on-off switch is not wired up? You don’t have a battery snap?
Grab a ratshack batery snap and solder the red wire to the middle lug of the on/off slider switch and the black wire to the ground rail on the bottom right of the board down by the huge capacitor. Take it from there

EDIT: can you quickly reflow all those solder points that look like the solder’s been half removed?
What happens when you plug it in? Nothing/noise/quiet/no fuzz? (You’re using a proper 9V power supply right? It works?)

What can you tell me in Picture one, ive noticed the caps on this board on the brown board but not this board i feel i also need to have all the tracks cleaned real well, and test if everything is working.

But i guess connecting up the battery leads and attaching a nice carbon battery, along with spray lubing all pots, and the switch, may just do the trick, and if so i guess i can clean the gunk of the board along with cleaning the case and isolating the battries in one of those foam battries carrriers you guys all seem to have.

may need to spray out and get the foot switch moving as well after that and getting a d2 replacement piece of electronics i may be ready to put this old girl back together again and give her a go

is there anywhere i can get an original case not as bad as mine or is this a totally silly question 34 years on.

Funny i was looking for a fuzz box and forgot i had this lucky for me i looked before buying one

I have to thank all you guys for being so nice and helpfull its really a supportive community you have here.

This is the original case, ramshead muffs came in this box,the very last ramsheads before the Version 4 IC muff. And there’s nothing wrong with this box, it has character and no you cant get new or NOS ones.
Its missing a diode too.
