Probably 1960s Stella reel to reel portable tape recorder, hacked to convert it to a guitar amplifier. Dimensions (in cm. excluding handle) L30 x H20 x D11. Run on PP9 type battery. Pretty loud and distorts well when cranked full. This is one cool looking baby.
My early 2007 MacBook Pro is starting to show some signs of wear and tear... so I hacked it with some Sugru!
The plastic coating on the cable was fraying slightly so rather than cover with electrical tape I used Sugru to wrap around and bind the junction. It is still nice and flexible so I can wrap the cable away as normal. Sugru is fine up to a high temperature (silicone) so I hope this will be a good solution.
I'd lost one of the small feet on the back corner of the machine, too. For symmetry I've covered the existing three feet with a little piece of Sugru, and stuck another piece where the missing one was - presto - some nice soft feet for it to stand on.
Taz likes to hack into Javscript programs on the Khan Academy website to figure out how they work (and spend a bit more time that he should ...) It is intresting to see how quickly he has learned how to program this way.
