I went forward in placing an order and it wasn't until we were in Papal did the exchange rate was shown. It is currently at 1.30 which works out to .77us per $1 can. Thanks, I did order everything I could from them. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 All of the components are in, now all I need now is to get the board(s) cut to 7x9 - or something fairly close anyway and the build will begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut the to the length I want and unwind a inch or so and use 220 sand paper to remove the enamel coating on each strand the twist back together. Tell me there is a better way LOL. And I am still interested in purchasing some transformers from you Dean. Thanks Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 You're not allowed to user a solder pot -- that's cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) ARRRG!!! I just realized I ordered 3.9 ohm resistors and not 39 ohm. I do have some Lynk 40 ohm 5% (2x20 ohm) and that will work, if I were to use 10% tolerance 39 ohm I would be in the same range. Need to get a new 9v battery for the DVM to see how close we are - just can't let it go. Edited June 17, 2017 by Alexander I can't spell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good 40 (Mills) will sound better than a bad 39 (everything else). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Here is one board mostly fitted, just need to do the soldering. Still waiting on some bar solder for the solder pot. And yes I see I have wires # 2 & 5 reversed on the autotransformer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
