Those look cool! Awesome pics!
I just built up two fresh fuzz pedals, OK Benders. These are up on eBay at $75 + shipping, or you can buy direct from me for $70 shipped (CONUS).
The OK Bender is an "original" design (insofar as any two transistor fuzz circuit can be), but it's roots are clearly in early fuzz designs like the first generation tone benders and fuzz faces. It is an NPN silicon transistor based pedal, but not an over the top fuzz sound, and the one knob controls the output, while you control the fuzz by rolling off your guitar volume. I build these and hand paint them entirely myself at my home. If you are interested in these or any other pedal, let me know!

There is a demo of the OK Bender here:

The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

Good stuff. I love me some fuzz!
I haven't tried a bender yet, but as I've got three germanium fuzzface based pedals and a germanium fulltone 69 clone, I should probably move on from the dual tranny design at some point
Thanks guys. I'll be slowly posting other stuff up here as it gets built, including some Tone Bender MkII type germanium fuzzes and various versions of vintage and modern muff circuits.
