I thought I was going to be posting about a new microphone I built today! I was pretty sure I could get the kit construction finished and even make a couple of recordings.
And I couldāve, but no, I had to have one of those "comma but only after removing the fuse" moments, wherein on page 24 of the assembly instructions it talks about connection sealing material and special kinds of thread-locking fluid which arenāt strictly necessary but are definitely good to use, if, you know, you just happen to have them around, and if you donāt, well, you can add them later but EVERYTHING WILL EXPLODE.
Particularly the connection sealing material. Apparently.
None of this was in the components and tools list up front. Of course. So thanks, now I get to order all that stuff, which I already have, and itāll get here Wednesday. (No, itās not at the local hardware. I did check!)
Anyway, the photo shows how far I got, and where itāll be until Wednesday.
