Re: [SPELLBOUND-L] My theremin got Maggied

2006-12-12 by rupert chappelle

wood glue and some clamps to repair the broken wood -
once it is set, just resolder the wire to the antenna.

the real fun starts if the trim pots have gotten
readjusted by the impact, since i use a spring
antenna, i don't have to worry about that since i can
just squeeze or stretch it to make the thing playable
- damn the trim pots.

you may consider seizing upon this as an opportunity
to justify the purchase of a spare or a replacement,
and then tell maggie, once you have repaired the
broken theremin, in all seriousness, that since she
broke the theremin, now she has to play it.

the look on the child's face will be priceless.

in a couple of years, you can do theremin duos.
