Wiring the backplanes tonight. Had a pretty slack day. Kicked y crews out by 7, did paperwork till 10, then went to the eye doctor for three hours. Came home , took a nap, now back at it.

Done wiring the backplanes ....

Got some time today....time to strip..this one gets a new chassis..

 

[laatsch55]

Some extensive work was done on this. New emitter resistors...chassis,reinforcement...

Looks like a good repair job. The new chassis will be a nice upgrade to a unit that had a hard life

Not really Glen. Some very good work was done to it. It looks like all of it was preventative in nature. A lot of new wire, very well done. Somebody knew what they were doing.

There is actually #14 for rails and speaks....

The chassis repair is first class I would guess it may have been dropped. The wiring looks good enough to reuse but if you are going to do it then then dot right!! "Lee's way"

I'll leave the #14, but change out the rest. The #14 is very nice wire...

I used the following my build

power from caps to fuse and ground wires to DCP #12
output from back plates to DCP #14
feed from fuse block to back plate #16
ground wires#16 and #12
120volt wiring #14
back plate to control board #20
DCP and meter power supply and volume control wires areshielded #20

Lee the #12 is a bit heavy and hard to work with but does look good
the power plug is rated at 15 amp and I have some 10' #14 ac cords from EBay

I've run some of Navo's #12 from the BR to the caps, it does take some finneglin to get it in there...

Yes sir Navo's got good wire stuff and interesting avatar's
I did the #12 as well. Is a good thing the holes are big enough. The next one I do I will drill some holes above the ones that it comes with for the DCP power connection

 

[laatsch55]

yep, me too...

 

[laatsch55]

Brand new fuse holders...

 

[laatsch55]

[laatsch55]

New binding posts....

I put the IEC plug in this way in the stock chassis. Joes has so much more room to work in.
