Pretty clean work on that board there fella....NICE!!
 
Got this off a BIN on ebay - could not resist the asking price for the condition, and damn if I don't miss that Rev B backplane 400 WOPL sound for a daily driver.

Shouldn't take but a few days, then onto your amp Gary/62Vaux!

Not a scratch on her!! Seller did one awesome job packing... styro all the way around.

Thanks Jerry! I'd be interested to learn what you thought about my packing job since it took a couple of days and a whole bunch of glue.

Those sockets are icing on the cake - a very nice touch. For repair or troubleshooting it's a great improvement. Nice job Joe!

The boards are looking sweeeeeeeeet Jer.

Except one minor thing... they're ass backwards! Grrr... I'll probably end up soldering the outputs..

They work either way Jer. You just have to push out the OFP plugs from the non plug side before you install the board in the chassis. Use a 1/2w resistor lead.

I did try that, Joe. Even with the plug out, the actual leads from a TO3 would not push through from the opposite end - there's some sort of very small mini lock pin that won't allow travel but one way.

Already have them "uninstalled", but yeah... that procedure ended up depositing solder down through quite a few of them. Going to end up ordering some more cups along with the outputs I need (ended up this amp had 15024's on the back side... )

Now you have a lifetime supply of 15024's. I have about 3 or 4 lifetimes worth :-)

Yeah they're getting that way .. I swear the 95 and 96's sound better anyway, but that could be just my mind playing jedi mind tricks...

Here's the 'planes... ready to populate with components (and Gar's 700 too.. ). Tomorrow tho, because work's a beech and I'm bushwhacked.:toothy9:
