I bought the book *Handbook for Electronic Engineers and Technicians* after seeing someone post it on this subreddit. I used the cable lacing technique described in the book on the battery connector and had a really nice time doing it.
The components are mounted on vulcanized fiberboard with brass eyelets. I tried to use parts that would have been used in the early 60’s (cloth covered wire, carbon comp resistors, germanium transistors, spaghetti sleeving, 24mm pots)
The circuit is a copy of an early Fuzzrite that I traced from pictures online. I wasn’t able to find an accurate schematic out there for this era of Fuzzrites so I can post that too if there’s interest.

As an old-school relic, I can vouch for the authenticity of your work.
Where did you get a hold of those carbon comp resistors and metal can transistors? I didn’t realize you could still buy them.
This is a thing of beauty. Well done.
Very nice. But can you mod it so that it goes to 11? One louder?
Nice work! Looks spot on, love it.
