Stumbled across this, maybe it's old hat:

I love mad scientist stuff like this. Wish I had the skills and shop to copy it. He should offer a kit, I'd be up for one. I bet a few studios out there might buy one just as a 'check this out' fun toy thing.

Maybe sometime last year Vintage Guitar had a step by step deal of how to make one very similar to this. They spread it over 2 issues. I have this idea I would do it but keep coming up with other things instead. That and I don't use a ton of tremolo... not that not needing something and then building it has ever stopped me.

I'm thinking attachments could be added, a metronome and something to hypnotized you.

There must be someway to get my lava lamp in there too to warm up while it's on.
