I have the light board jumpers on both meters between pins 2 and 3.

Well here's an interesting development. I closed her back up and gave a listen. It appears to me that the right one is working just fine, but the left one is WAY oversensitive. The right one (the one that I thought was broken) is dancing between -10 and -20. The left one is constantly pegged.

Do I have to take it out of the molded case to see the back one?

I have a little 3x and 45x handheld magnifier. Hopefully that's good enough.

I have no idea what I'm doing in here...

The needle moves when you move it. It appears fluid, which I assume is good.

Yes I did! RCA inputs were already done, but I had to run the two 22awg grounds to pins 5r and 5l on the control board. I taped off the orange wire from the backplane board, just in case I need it later for some reason.

Welp, I'm satisfied. Moving her into my main setup.

She sounds great! I put her in my office setup with a Carver C2 and small Techniques 3-way towers just for testing purposes. The right meter is stuck! Only the very slightest twitch of movement if you look closely. Any troubleshooting tips for that? Deep black silence between tracks. Before I...

First item is done. Copper plate is installed between both brandy new RCA inputs. I debated between using the Switchcraft 3501FRX or the fancy gold plated ones that I bought on Amazon. Although the Amazon ones look to be high quality, I went with the Switchcraft solely due to their larger...

I'm stuck at work and all I can think about is going home to spend time with Valerie...

Looks good! I may do the same... I have basically an endless supply of metric fasteners to choose from here... I have two pair of the 400 handles, but I'm not sure that I'm going to love that look - especially considering I have the walnut case for this one.

I also took a handful of m6 x 8mm and m6 x 10mm stainless bolts/washers/nuts from work.

I actually picked up two sets of rack handles for $40. $40/per pair.

Looks like it could use a little meter calibration before closing up.

I didn't hook her up to the system yet, but she's basically ready! Just need to put the covers back on.

Last row going in. Then I need to finish soldering in the input jacks. Maybe I will listen to Valerie yet tonight!

I figured since ground and bias were the only two test points on the PL14-20 that was obviously my desired test points. I'm very happy at this moment.

Ooh, my negative lead was absolutely on ground. About to power up row 3.

This bias holds rock steady. I expected it to fluctuate more. Two rows down, going for #3.
