The Silver plated 600v Teflon Wire arrived today. I used this supplier http://www.powerwerx.com/ since teflon wire is impossible to get locally. This wire is about the best wire made next to gold. It is made for aircraft applications so it has a really tough jacket and is also good for 400 F degrees.
Here's the board all soldered up. Using high silver 4%/96% content solder and verified my variable temp soldering iron's tip temp with my IR thermometer. I also used heat sinks to protect each component from heat damage. The heat sinks are from (Radio Shack). You just clamp the Resistor or Capacitor about 1/2 between the component and the solder joint. The heat travels down the wire into the heat sink, not the component.

Here is a pic of the top of the board. It's about 97% done, just a few more wires to add.

And the Bottom of the board. The thick copper wire is a ground bus for grounding the components that need grounding and to help with the sound by keeping the bus a little away from all of the caps.
