[sdiy] Synth in a pipe anyone?

[Peter Forrest]

And a bit bigger, but fun as well, is the Great British Spring - a
metre-plus-long spring reverb in a plastic drainpipe; and the orginal
Sherman Filterbank (first model before mass production) had plastic
guttering as its back housing.
Then there was the HumDrum drum synth from Argent's music store in London,
which was housed in a Tupperware container.
Any more re-cycled plastic casings around on production instruments?
