Finally getting around to this. Think it’s going ok for my first circuit board... got all the diodes installed.

[AngrySailor]

For this one yes. I’m at the 13.0k ohm resistors now, r54 only right

Ya got some solder skills....

 

[jbeckva]

Yep, looking great so far.

You've apparently built boards before. What's the jig/holder?

 

[AngrySailor]

Getting there.

$16 on amazon. Ordered it and a cheap regulated soldering iron just for these jobs.

Wingin’ It! Got one I got contaminated, think I got it good and solid now... I’m having a blast putting this together. Can’t wait to bring the amp up.

 

[laatsch55]

Yep, ya got the bug now!!

 

[AngrySailor]

I knew this stuff was good but now that I’m spherical bits deep into it I can’t say enough about how good the quality is here... hats off to joe/white oak, watts abundant for your DCP, the documentation, organization and comprehensiveness of these kits it 110%.

Joe is NOT your average engineer.

Nice, neat work on that board. Don't forget to set your bias pots to minimum before you put power to it. I was in Tignish the summer of 2018, bicycled from the North Cape to the South Cape. Here's a photo of the Tignish Confederation Trail Head. Nice people on the island for sure, and great food. All the potato farms and low bush cranberries were interesting as corn and soybeans dominate Ohio agriculture. Those fresh cut french fries were outstanding, and the poutine made them even better.

Nice. You would have passed the back of my place on the ride.

White lead is negative, correct?

White lead is negative, correct?

Yes and the white lead is the shorter leg. The longer leg on electrolytic radials is the positive side.

Thanks Joe! This board is almost done...
