Highly Unnecessary Empeg Modifications - 17/07/2004 19:57

I spoke briefly at the Amersfoort meet about changes that I've made to Jolene. I'm posting some slides here for those that missed it.

The links for the plastic suppliers that I've used or found are:

Here's a link to Jolene at Amersfoort. Simpy beautiful, she is!

And I find it amazing what you manage to accomplish with no workshop and very few tools!

Cheers!

I finally got a chance to go through the gallery (Now that I'm back home where I have enough bandwidth to enjoy them). Nice work! The Amersfoort town photos turned out great. I'm sorry that I missed the buried travel bug hotel cache. Some thought went into that one. What was your final cache count?

We visited four geocaches around Amersfoort, and another five in Amsterdam. But for the whole trip including London, the tally was around 99 or so!

Speaking of which.. was it St.John's Wood cache that Erin was trying to describe to me -- an overgrown churchyard with tombstones among the bushes..?

The cache there was a micro, with plastic foliage glued to it that matched *exactly* the leaves of the shrub it was hanging in. Very very tricky!

Cheers

Wow! That should top off the find count nicely.

The cache Erin was describing was a DNF for us but looks like it was archived about the same time that we were in the area. The kali cache

That's cool you got your stuff from Delvie's. They are my local supplier. I went over there to buy my acrylic for a PC case I designed and built from scratch.

Off topic: They do laser cutting, if you want me to take your design to them for buttons just let me know.

Yeah, it bumped me to the top find count for locals here, at least until the former title holder (since day one) gets off of the golf course for a few hours .

Here's a pic of one of the Amsterdam cache sites (attached).

NewFace is one of those mythical not-actually-existant things right?

Thanks for the offer. Right now Filener is looking at the project but if he passes, I'll take you up on it.

Sadly, its no longer being made. Speedy67 is trying to start up where 303 left off but its stuck in Empeg time right now.

I added a few knobs that I made using similar methods as above, so I'm adding the "how to" here also to keep it all together.
