Oh my god so much want !

Good work.

I won't be too worried about PCB mounted pre-amp valve sockets, as in my experience they rarely cause problems.

If you can effect an elegant way of mounting them with flying wires, that could be a good solution as long as there is space to do it.

PCB mounted power valves are another matter.........

Yeah i figured if i use decent quality sockets it should be fine.

I agree with the power valve sockets. Ive heard a lot of complaints from a local tech about them.

I have been crazily busy at work these last couple of months so I haven't even had a chance to touch this.

Things have finally calmed down so i've jumped back in.

First up here's the headshell & a test fitting ( inside to be painted before I do the shielding & fit the reverb tank)




Heres the octal heaters


and the offboard components (screen grids, grid stoppers)


and here's the OT primaries and the other pair of octals in progress.


and now it's time for food so i'll continue this tomorrow.

I ended up staying at work longer than I expected today so there was very little progress.

I managed to finish the octal wiring & the simul class switch though.





I've just noticed a shady looking solder joint on the simul class switch on these photos. That will be fixed tomorrow then onto the mains wiring.

Cool pics  8) looking good!

That looks awesome, your works so neat!

Can't wait to try it out.

I just finished PSU, mains & EQ switching.

Now I'm just waiting on some wire in the post so that I can extend the Output transformer secondaries and finish up.

There are a few little jobs that I can be getting on with though such as the pot wiring and the GEQ.



However I think I deserve to go muck about on the PS4 for a while.

That looks awesome, your works so neat!

Can't wait to try it out.

Well i'm hoping to have it done over the next week... A Christmas present to myself so to speak. So saying that if you have any free time over the next few weeks let me know.

[Toe-Knee]

It's finished! Well mostly.

I need to lower the EQ voltage a bit & get some new valves in it

After a bit of tidying ill post more pics.

This thing has a ridiculous amount of gain and a pretty funky way to dial it in but I'm loving it so far.

also Dmoney is a legend for helping me suss some of it.
