STEIM Cracklebox

via brian c

"Here's a picture of my "new" Steim cracklebox... This is unit 70 of 500 produced in a third run from STEIM dated 2005.

The build quality is much better than I expected, it has a finger jointed wooden box and a hinged top - cool

I'm gonna mic it so I can sample it and run it through some effects."

    I've build one myself some years ago, bought a pcb+components kit from a guy that used to be affiliated with/work for Steim.
    Mine is in an empty VHS movie box and has thumbtacks for contact points :)
    I'll undust it soon again, see if it still works. Cool little toys. When properly amplified possibly more annoying than a crying baby.

    Thanks for reminding!
