\ Better than factory....

I'm sure. I was purely talking about the looks. How its like it should of been. Your work is awesome.

 

[laatsch55]

Thank you, I do try ...

Sometimes I just tickle myself shitless...... Joe would be proud of me.....I used #26 for the bias trannie hookup instead of #16. AND, check out the cute little loom clips for the bias wires!!!! Also , separate feeds....

There is also NavLinear's latest and greatest Bias Transistor Bracket stuffed with the latest and greatest 2N5088 Transistors.....Dennis THEY ROCK!!


Kenny......oh man you're gonna love this little amp.....

Kenny's amp sure is looking nice Lee. The hooks - were those installed in unused through holes? Looks like some buss wire - nice touch. I've used lacing tape in past projects to tie down wires to a printed circuit board - two unused adjacent through holes were used but this idea of yours is pretty cool. I'll file that one away for future reference.

You'll be getting used to using smaller gauged wire (assuming it is capable of carrying the current) as it's easier to work with and having insulation that can take the heat is a plus. With all the heavy equipment and high current stuff you're around for your day job I can only imagine that using the smaller stuff would take some getting used to.

Your craftmenship sure is looking good. Kenny will be pleased.

Thanks for the props Dennis....wire discipline is tough to maintain....


The hooks are soldered into the plus and minus feed jumper holes. Being I have run separate feeds to each side of the board they suddenly are superfluous. I might have to move them if I see any eddy currents or other such nonsense....

Done, will test after work tonight...... And my new Leg-O-Lamp..

 

[laatsch55]

The AP is warming up. Time to see if we just wasted our time or if we do have something extrordinary.......

This is gonna be a good one----I just love this part.... Frequency Response is great . 8 ohm load , 1.5 watt output.

Sounds like you have a hot PS there, did you measure the rails? I didn't see a post on it.

 

[laatsch55]

Doing that now...
