Lee...you need to come down this way for a few days. Not warm but a hell of a lot warmer than where you are.....35 right now.....

 

[laatsch55]

Would love to. Counting the days when we hop on the big bird and go south for 10 days... 35????? Man I bet people are freaking with that temp there!!

Got the tedious filing them flat out of the way and got the backplane boards remounted. Won't be long now...

That's beeutifer, mang

 

[laatsch55]

Thanks Jer. Got emm taped this time too. The metal outfit did such a good job keeping one side pristine that I decided to see if I could keep them that way cause it sure is pretty on the one side. I mean spotless, hard to do when just running your fingers accross it will scratch it.

Just returned from the shop making some WOPL bus bars. Fabricating a PS cap holdown at the moment. If I can talk the Jani out of her camera I'll post some pics. Easiest way to start a fight around here is to borrow something of hers, ESPECIALLY tools. Seems I have at times taken some to the oilfield and a percentage of those returned....unrecognizable....

 

[laatsch55]

Hookay, new PS caps, new hold down fabbed, new BR bypassed and ready, just a shitload of wiring now...

 

[laatsch55]

Makin a little progress. Hope to be testing tonight.

 

[laatsch55]

Buttoned up around the PS caps.....moving east...

 

[laatsch55]

I had conversed with the customer for the REALLY CRITICAL listening sessions that I could bypass the DC protect board. Notice the extra binding posts where the RCA jacks were?? He'll have to move the speaker wires to do it, but I see that as a minimum of trouble to accomplish that.....

 

[laatsch55]

Got this end done, all that is left is the board....

 

[laatsch55]

Finally got to break out FaboNav's extremely righteous board holder, right channel done..

 

[laatsch55]

Left channel done, outputs next..

Left channel done, outputs next..

Looking good Lee.

Need to ask a favor, can you take a caliper to the round barrel on that thermal sensor and get me that dimension? Also that same dimension at the base where it is a little bit wider where it contacts the chassis.

I am provisioning the cutout needed in the PL700 backplane board and don't have an amp cracked open at this moment (and the bench is a mess).

Thx lots.

 

[laatsch55]

Betcha, give me just a minute...

 

[laatsch55]

Black Plastic Element---.5749
Mounting collar---.654

Betcha, give me just a minute...

Take your time Lee. I went from a spec sheet and the flange dimension just seems too big compared to the ones in your picture. Trying to make the hole as small as reasonable since it cuts into valuable trace.

Black Plastic Element---.5749
Mounting collar---.654

Thank you sir. The .654 beats the .825 on the spec sheet. The spec sheet say .579 max for the plastic element so that is a lot closer to the reality.

Thanks again. That picks me up 0.090" on each side that I had given up.

 

[laatsch55]

Setting up for the outputs, gonna strip the tape off the copper when the outputs are in...

Welcome Sir.....that close eh?? WHOA!!! There is a very thin flange on the very bottom of the collar that is .015 thick. diameter is .685....

Thanks Lee, it is critical that this sensor be able to be removed and installed when the back plane is in place. That is why I am fretting these dimensions.
