More mint-tin amp action

Michael O’Brien, a.k.a. Turbotron, has posted pics of this project to the MAKE Flickr Pool. It’s a mint-tin amp based on the LM386 chip, the same op-amp chip used in the MAKE Mousey the Junkbot and Cracker Box Amp projects. The case is an Altoids box, painted gloss black enamel, the grill is from a PC power supply, and the control hardware is from The Shack.
