Nice work bud!!
I don't recommend any use of the drywall anchors in your PL400 project Eric
Agreed, meticulous work.

I can feel the magic already !!!!Also finished up bakplane boards and stated housing assembly.
Very Nice Work!
Made some progress today:
- Installed transformer with isolated bolts (did not realize S2 transformer was 1/2" longer than S1)
- Assembled rectifier with caps
- Placed sheathing over AC primary wires and positioned tiedown supports on backplane PCB - much easier to route solid core S1 transformer wires... They stay in place.
- Finished up main wiring and performed initial power supply test
It''s alive!! +/-85.2V with 120V AC input.

Of course you have two flukes! Beautiful..
Two is one and one is none... At least that's what I tell the wife when talking about tools.
The Fluke on the right is almost 30 years old and the LCD is starting to fail unfortunately.
Thank you very much.
I really enjoy working on this type of project. It's a great combination of making it work electrically and hands on mechanical assembly. It's been a welcome distraction from the Midwest winter.
I would welcome building amps for others...

I've got an 87 (with no version number like this one). It's never been in for cal but still reads consistent with calibrated instruments.

The inside of your amp is super sexy, I'm thinking you can have it any color as long as it's black!Decisions, decisions...
Do I go Black, or stay with natural finish.
I'm leaning towards Black to match my Aragon pre, but need to find Black anodized handles. Anyone have a good source for quality Black handles?
Very sexy to match your Aragon Pre......
Just sayin'
My 2 cents.....
