Getting ready to do wopl 400 build

[roccus]

This is where I am at right now I have all wires from fuse holders and transformer run the loose wires to the right will go to pc boards got to wait till I get them to figure where exactly the will go the 2 red wires running along the top are for light board rest is along bottom everything look ok so far? Also got new power cord on

 

[moewillis]

looks great man! where did you purchase the wire from?

 

[roccus]

Wire came from a member here NavLiear/Dennis.... it is the best wire money can buy I highly recommend it and Dennis is super to deal with.

Move the thermoswitch wiring to run along the top along with the other red AC wires Ray.

AAAAhhhh duuuu pounding myself in the forehead lol..... thanks Joe

I think where I am getting confused here is anything that has a line going to either a fuse holder or out the front of transformer (where the thermal wires come out) is AC and I thought the light board ran on DC so any wires coming out the back of the transformer was DC

 

[laatsch55]

No DC till after the bridge rectifier....

 

[roccus]

OK so all wires that come out of the wopl backplanes and control board will be DC right?

Correct Ray.

The AC wires are the AC primary wires to the AC fuseholder and cord as well as the AC secondary that runs to the light board assembly.

 

[roccus]

OK so I also need to move that orange grey red and black wires to the top

Mouser order came in so put new jacks and terminals in wired jacks got ac/dc wires sorted... guess this is about all I can do till more parts get in

 

[moewillis]

looking good buddy!

Hi Ray
Can you get a better photo of the wiring in the area of the phono jack inputs please?

 

[laatsch55]

Yep, the old solid wire is tantalizingly close to the speaker grounds...

 

[roccus]

Sure Joe when I go out to the shop tomorrow I will get one and put it up.....

You talking about the heavy ground wire that is soldered to the rca jack ground buss? That was soldered to the old neg speaker terminal I just desoldered it from the old speaker terminal and left it did not solder it to the new terminal was not sure if I will need it with the new set up

Joe sent me the docs for the build I looked them over a bit but when the parts get here I will lay them out and go over the docs real good starting with the back planes then I will go over the docs again then maybe again before I even turn my solder iron on I'll keep yall updated here with pics as I go
