I have been working on these for sometime now, I said I was going to have fun with this set, I wasn’t out to refurbish these to a stock look (boring) I doubt I would have done this to a minty stock set, but they had seen better days.
I was just going to get them up and running and hang them in the garage.
I also figured this would be a great opportunity to try out Rob’s phase plugs, he was kind enough to make it happen for me.
I just finished these to this point today, and have not hooked them up to give them a listen, I will do it tomorrow..
I’m all in to hear what you have to say about them good, bad or otherwise. I want honest feedback. I can take it.. 🤪 -

I knew you had to be up to something with all the VH refs lately! but had no idea it would turn out to be something like this.
Friggin' awesome project!
Note to self: If I ever need someone to keep something secret, tell Larry.
What a great tribute. I, too, love all the little details, both VH and the actual speaker and stands fab stuff. The little jumping Eddie is a cool topper.
When do the Eruption 1.2TLs and 2.3TLs start shipping?

Caught me off guard. Thought you were doing them in xschop-esque truck bedliner and billet.
But these are damn cool too 
I just want to know how Dave's "Lil Dreamer" sounds on them. Beautiful work and theme execution. Very nice surprise, Larry. Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists. -
