Just a thought I have a golden opportunity to rebuild a small number of Claymore's that will be looking like the Old Inca Tech Claymore with a very limited few in Gold Plate.
But using better and more modern components, and not SMD.

Do the panel think there is Market for the retro design.

I think its cool. Gold plated can look very pleasing!

A lander from StarTrek perhaps. Certainly think the feet would have looked better within the edges of the casework. Retro is cool with me. I posted elsewhere how I add wooden end cheeks to modern kit so it looks a bit nearer my age.

Nice, clean, simple layout. Yes, there's a market I reckon Colin and having heard the original in my system (courtesy of Ben), it'd be a winner, at the right price of course.:)

The bodywork is very tasteful from where I'm sitting. I'm with the others in preferring tidier feet though. Gold plate is a nice touch.

Looks great, but others have said loose the feet, would the unit have a remote control function?:)
