D2, what color of light board do you want?

The Color which makes the meters look the most visible, it was either white or blue. I trust your judgement here.

 

[derek92994]

Also will there be a Meter sensitivity adjustment so I can make them dance at low levels?

 

[laatsch55]

White it is and yes the -20db meter switch will be included...

Not this one Lee...

 

[laatsch55]

Better not....

 

[laatsch55]

Wiring the pots...

 

[derek92994]

[laatsch55]

What holds the backplane boards in, new hole with a screw and a standoff or is there an existing hole that gets re-purposed ?

24 each 6-32 screws per backplane board.

 

[laatsch55]

12 outputs of 2-6/32 machine screws...24 in total on each side...Each output screws into a threaded insert that is soldered into the backplane. The screw in the middle you see showing is a line-up till the outputs are put in then used for a ground point to the chassis.


Pots wired, now for the board!!

And metal standoffs for the board...

Question Sir Joe. When it's time to power up, and I'm using my outboard power supply, anything wrong with just going to B+ on the cap with the B+ power wire off the power supply ?? And the same with the B- supply and ground? Nothing wrong with going through the caps in the chassis??

Nothing wrong with that Lee, just ensure that the bulk caps inside the amp are fully wired in. You need the very local presence of the bulk caps. They cannot be remote.

 

[laatsch55]

Well, there will be plenty of capacitance...

 

[derek92994]

Huge Nuts

 

[derek92994]

I'll be back in a couple of hours.

 

[Gepetto]

Huge Nuts

I'll say...

 

[laatsch55]

I have some 4-1/4" off of wrist pins...

 

[laatsch55]

Time for the board....
