+ Looks like an amp ...
with knobs and pilot light ....

but the knobs are really pushpins:

and it's really a bulletin board:

and the pilot light is a special pushpin that lights up when you use it!

Here's what it's made out of:

The knobs are of clear resin, cast in an RTV mold (with a pushpin in the middle), then painted black with a silver dot in the middle, and wiped with white to reveal the debossed numbers.

This was insanely fun to make!
Best,
Bob K
