Arrival in Melbourne

The WestiAmp has arrived inMelbourne intact (well, in pieces - but importantly, in no more pieces than it left). It's currently hiding behind a pile of boxes in our spare room (soon to be study / library).

I have emailed the good people at S-5 Electronics, and they've responded to say they do ship to Australia, and that shipping of the valve amplifier kit I need for the WestiAmp will cost an extra $55. So, next pay, it's mine :-)

On the move ...

Finally, I've had some time to work on Westiamp. I've taken an old Celeron 500 PC with a few hard drives, installed Puppy Linux on it, and set it up to work as a simple media center.

Then, I've disassembled said PC, and packaged it up with the Westiamp to send to Melbourne. Once it arrives I'll be cleaning up the case, buying the valve amplifier kit, and commencing construction.

It's taken a while, but the Westiamp project is back on track again ...
