[AMRadio] Tube Theremin

Fri Mar 20 22:26:31 EDT 2009

Thanks for the tip on the jewelry stand - sounds like it would be just the ticket. ? I don't think there is a Big Lots store around here anymore, but I see them in my travels pretty frequently.

Thanks for those two pieces of data.  I am planning on building one
for my son-in-law for Christmas and have been looking for a good
schematic.

BTW, a nice case can be made from a $20 Armour jewelry case from
BigLots.  The have one that is about 4 feet tall with legs and side
opening doors as well as a top that opens.  I plan on removing the
drawers and replacing with a plain panel then placing speakers on
either side that can be directed by the opening or closing of the side
doors.  The top will open for a music stand with any controls under
the top.
