Birth of a New Model One

[Vintage 700b]

Hi Joe,
Yes, that is the issue. I have a non-latching version of the switch, it is ON-Mom.
It was frustrating me trying to figure out why I had no continuity unless I held the switch in.
Correct switch on it's way.
Thank You

You have the 'push to listen' version of the Model ONE amp John...

Does the "push to listen" version come with a telescoping broom handle so I can sit in the sweet spot and listen?
I don't think that version will be a hot seller.
I did get the rest of the wiring done today, heat sinks chamfered, and checked the amplifier very thoroughly from one end to the other.
Getting close to initial bring up and adding transistors.
Thanks for everything all of you !

A cotactor for power control is not a crazy idea- latch it and if the power drops out for any reason, the switch (contactor) remains open to avoid sudden in-rush and short on/off cycles as the power company gets stuff back on line again...

Costs money to have cool features, so production usually didn't bother.

The Model ONE handles that elegantly Jim...

Yeah well, you’re the exception, not the rule.
