I did this by taking the headset off and and playing the guitar and amp at full volume for a minute, I couldn't hear any sound escaping! I also tested how soundproof the headset was because obviously it's designed for silent jamming. It's also just the right volume: doesn't hurt my ears yet perfectly loud enough for a late night session.
I am happy to report that the sound is GRATE! (sic) It has that low-fidelity, weirdly distorted sound that utilitarian military sound systems have! I love it. If you can't find screws that are small enough you can just glue or epoxy the disk in place.Ĭouldn't get my girlfriend to model it for me after it was done, she said that the copper jack housing irritated her fibreglass skin. These screws will hold the plywood disk in place and make it easy to open up if there are any wiring problems later. I Solved this problem by drilling a tiny hole on either side of the disk (right through the copper socket) and inserting tiny screws. you should now have a cute little copper nodule that's housing your 1/4" jack, the only problem is that with time the snug fitting plywood disk will become loose and everytime you try to plug an audio cable into it it will pop into this housing. This screw, when tightened, also clamps the cable down thus preventing it from being pulled out.Ħ. I then put one of the connector block's screws through this hole to keep it in place.
My lightbulb socket had a tube at the end through which I drilled a hole just larger than one of the screws of the brass connector block. Wire the headset's cable to the 1/4" jack and push all this into the lightbulb socket.ĥ. Put the headset's cable through the brass connector block and then through the copper lightbulb socket.Ĥ. Enlarge the hole in the centre of the disk until the jack will fit through it, now insert and tighten the jack.ģ. If you don't have a drill press you can use a scroll saw, failing that you can saw and file the disk by hand, it's more work though.Ģ. I did this in the following manner: cut an oversize disk with holesaw, put a bolt through the hole that the hole saw made and tighten this bolt in a drill press chuck, start the drill press and use files to file the disk down until it fits tightly in the bulb socket Cut a plywood disk large enough to fit snugly in the opening of the lightbulb socket.
