Title: Finished product
Post by robinaz on 09/15/09 at 22:32:35

..and it works! i had the transformer covers copper plated for 40$. it sits on 18 gauge copper plate, which was $20. the volume control is 1.79 from Home Depot, a 1/2 inch cap! some cherry and padauk wood pieces make up the base. inside is a hammond box. how does it sound? really good...and that is in to some 30 year old speakers. i ordered the 8 inch drivers here and plan to make the speakers from the decware plans..... then the CCE mod...then ..silver wire speaker cables? we'll see...one step at a time. being new to this, i want to work progressively so i can discern any changes from an upgrade. thx to Hasafraker for directing me to the .pdf diagram for the wiring details

Very nice. I like the copper. The CCE mod is tricky after everything is mounted because you have to cut a couple of traces. You can see how I did it at http://www.jet5.com/triode.php

Thx, Alan. That's an ingenious fix for the CCE mod. I have my Dremel ready....! If/when I do it, I'll report back.
