Theremax Construction Project

[i]I thought the tVox Tour had a metal enclosure?[/i]

This is rather improbable. It might be that the case bottom is metal, but I see too much electrotechnical obstacles for a metal case top. I will verify this in Lippstadt from march 13 to 15.

Will you be using the "Fabio Tap Test"?

OT/BTW: Gordon, do you plan to attend Without Touch 3.0 in Lippstadt in march 2009?

PAiA only wants the T-MAX to have a ground plane under the circuit board, as is pointed out in the THEREMAX kit manual.

Good Luck!

Also!
Gordon! Thierry! If you wish to converse to each other, please trade email addresses and leave the Theremin World newbie threads alone. Not everyone can be so-o-o ascended...

Snuffy: I ordered the Theremax kit without the box, because I have to build my own box for this school project. My dad has a bunch of tools downstairs, so I am able to work on the Theremin at home.
I found an old wood mail box that was still in great condition, so I cut a hole on the front to mount the front panel of the Theremin. I also cut a small hole on the back side of the box and put a grill to let the air circulate. As for the circuit board, I have mounted it on part of an old computer power supply, and I will mount the hole thing inside the mail box. I have also cut a hole in the lid of the mail box and put a transparent piece of plastic so that you can see the circuits and stuff. All I have left to do is drill a hole in the back of the box for the power cord, and then I want to put some LEDs inside to make the Tehremin look cool.

I will try and post some pics on flickr, but I have to make an account first.
