Yweblwrs!!!

 

[Fishoz]

Aaand.....he's off!! May the WOPL Gods be with you.

 

[laatsch55]

Amen.....

Being I used Russ' boards in Fish's amp. We are building boards today....

 

[laatsch55]

Resistors in....

 

[laatsch55]

Diodes, small caps and regulators in.....

 

[laatsch55]

Everything but the big caps....

 

[laatsch55]

Done....

 

[laatsch55]

Backplanes----the solder cups....

 

[laatsch55]

Navo's righteous standoff holders....

 

[laatsch55]

Nice consistent meniscus....

That's looking really good Lee. Do you use a single iron while flowing the standoff joints?

 

[laatsch55]

Yep, the WES-51, maxed out, using the 63/37 you sent...

 

[NavLinear]

Ok - I did mine at 750 F and the solder would solidify on the opposite side of the standoff (iron) but by moving the iron around a second time the flow came out well. I'll have to try this with a higher heat, 850 F, next time on the upcoming 700 build.

 

[laatsch55]

I laid my iron in at a 30 degree angle then force the solder in , then come around to the backside of the iron and draw some around the backside, then back to the front. Never moved the iron but was all over the place with the solder...

Yeah - that makes sense. A bit of higher heat does the trick. Nice job.

Thanks Bud. Are we actually gonna see a Navo build ??????

Yeah - in the process of getting all of the necessary hardware for the Series I 700 conversion. It's probably a week or three before the stars align.

Nice job on the "B" boards Joe!!

Nice job on the "B" boards Joe!!

Glad you like them Lee...now that you have the 'magnetic-transistor-putter-inner' you should be all set
