No Mas! No Mas!

I've explored countless avenues and I'm giving up on making my own faceplates. I'm going to contract Amplates (www.amplates.com) to make them. Last night and tonight I'm been carefully measuring the chassis and drawing up the specs for them to start their process.

Tonight after I finished measuring the chassis for a 2nd. time to make sure I had valid measurements I started hooking up the Big Iron. No not a Harley Davidson, but rather the Heyboer Transformers made to Graydon's (www.gdsamps.com) Vintage 18 Watt Specifications and manufactured by Heyboer in Flint Michigan.

Pictured here is the Power Transformer. I'm hooking of the rear components because I need to test things out and validate that my resistor choices for the attenuation levels are going to work out. Later when the back face plate comes I'll only have to desolder the fuse, and the power cord receptacle to install the rear plate.


Here's the output transformer. That might go in tomorrow night, but I need to pick up some rubber grommets to protect the wires passing trough the chassis holes.
