Model ONE Build - S/N 0005 & 0006

[Hexis22]

Model ONE build of S/N 005 & 006 has commenced.

Looking forward to completing a 100% White Oak designed amp. It's obvious from inspecting the PCB designs and Chassis layout that significant thought went into this design and project from Joe.

Acquiring all the components for two 1000W amps requires significant of table space for staging parts. The picture below is only the beginning, I have another table just like it for just the housing and other mechanical components.

The power supply toroids are quite large and very heavy. Below are two main toroids (one per amp) flanking a 700 transformer.

First step is assembly of all the PCB assemblies using a PanaVise. I would not want to take on this level of project without this tool.

Below are pictures of all the completed assemblies, cleaned, inspected and ready for installation:

Power Control Board

Input Control Board (one of two):

Output Relay Board

Backplane Boards (one of two):

Simply wonderful stuff there Rembrandt...those amps will definately be heirlooms..

Supremely cool that the 700 backplanes are used.
