Thursday Night, the 11x17 transparencies arrived. I was able to print the faceplate onto them. the 3m photo mount spray adhesive didn't work well at all. It might have been the temperature. It was a little cold an the adhesive was to hard to deal with. I then tried a test using epoxy. This was promising. My only problem was that I didn't have a J-Roller to squeeze out enough epoxy, the result was a little wavy, instead of totally flat. I might pickup a J-Roller tomorrow and try the epoxy route again. A J-roller is a rubber roller about 2-3 inches wide with a handle about a foot long so you can apply a lot of pressure. It's mainly used for attaching Formica using contact cement.
I spent a good part of the evening building the ink jet face-plate printing machine. The rest of the time was spent working on hooking up the tube sockets on Amp #2.
The heater wires were a little easier this time around, but they are still a pain to hook up. Those are the black twisted ones. They are twisted to help reduce noise in the amp.
