How did that copper work out? I love the look of it and was wondering about trying some one inch copper pipe on my a230.Shucks, I thought I was being crafty by making some shields out of copper sheeting.

I can't really vouch as to any effectiveness as a shield but it sure does look cool.How did that copper work out? I love the look of it and was wondering about trying some one inch copper pipe on my a230.
Superman hasn't been around to verify.I kinda wonder if those shields these days are actually lead. They might be a thick aluminum foil.
It is probably "pot metal". whatever that is. Ahhh, Google says it is mostly zinc. or a zinc alloy.Superman hasn't been around to verify.
Point well taken. I had always assumed they were lead because of the way they tear and their malleability. They don't feel like aluminum, although they could be some alloy.
I suppose I could do an Archimedes test if time permits.
Lead or Aluminum....it fooled the mooch.
Archie Bunker did the same thing with a bottle of Pinch. He refilled it with cheap scotch to fool a visitor.Nice amp, darkblue. Might I suggest a quad of Glenlivet 12 year Single Malt lead shields?
The matching color complements both your amplifier and Scotch. Full bodied taste and sound with an exquisite finish.
My shields are fully intact pulled from their bottles using my own "switcheroo" technique.
"The Switcheroo" was developed to fool a mooch who never brought a bottle to the party. We refilled an empty bottle of Glenlivet with cheap scotch, resealed it and left it out in the open for the mooch to discover.
He was so happy!
"Ahh, that's the stuff" he said as he put his glass down next to ours, not realizing the color of the beveridges didn't match.
I've been collecting those lead tops ever since. It's been like 30 years and he still doesn't know.
