Inspiring. Now I have another use for some of the pumice/ejecta from Mount Pinatubo I collected from the top of the VORTAC at Clark Air Base in late August 1991.

I wanted to see the schematic, that site said there was a schematic.
My thinking is that it is possible the section of concrete was being used as a high value resistor array, but it's also possible that chunk of rubble is just eye candy.
They have some nice projects and this pseudo-corporate web 1.0 art group style always appeals to me. Reminds me a bit of Kevin Bewersdorf's old 'Gear Tek Corporation' stuff.

On flickr you can zoom in. It does appear those copper wire bands are connected to the circuit and it's isolated from common via a wooden plate.
I'd imagine they operate closer to antenna region than an interconnected resistive network, but perhaps they were using high carbon cement in Soviet occupied territory back in the day.
Cool ass build no matter how you slice it.

I have all sorts of weird ass soviet era nixie tubes and fluorescent that I hope to some day integrate into some kinda of audio device.
