Holy crap, that is just a crime. Someone should be killed for turning a 50 watt work of art into such a garbage pile.
And then have to spend eternity running from a baseball bat-wielding Harry Joyce.

Spare the execution please, just chase with a cricket bat, even better & more appropriate.

He wired it with strands out of cat5, maybe it has an IP address.

So what happens if you solder to a lithium battery? Just curious.

Utube "lithium ion fire", it will scare the hell out of you. I won't charge my phone when I am sleeping anymore, that is for sure.

OH that cat5 has unbelievable bandwidth. For those who want to entertain their microwave ovens while playing guitar.

You don't want to set lithium on fire. Remember that 787 at Boston Logan airport a year or 2 back? "New technology" Li master battery went kapoof, all 787's grounded a couple months while Boeing and battery maker "made it safe." I'm glad I don't fly anymore.

Man, I remember when the inside of a Hiwatt was an inspiration to build an amp neater and cleaner.

Whoever stripped this Hiwatt out should be shot.

Don't let that smoke out!
