5F1 Group Build

I suggest separating the 5w 470Ω cathode resistor away from the bypass and power filter capacitors; it gets hot.

My board is built with one caveat. All I had on hand was the large turret board, so it only took up half of it. Looks weird. I'm thinking to order a smaller board and save that one for a future build.

I turned a 1974 Fender Champ AA764 into a 5F2A Princeton why the power transformer was fried and the can filter capacitor was blistering and the tag board
looked like fried bacon. I gifted it to a friend.

AES has a 5F1 pre-staked board for $6.00. The last time I tried to cut a board it didn't end well.

Sounds like me and those nice 9 pin sockets everyone else likes.

 

[CoyotesGator]

Quick, to the laboratory!

 

[Far Rider]

My board is built Dad.

 

[CoyotesGator]

Excellent.

Voltage chart tonight perhaps?

 

[Far Rider]

Still don't have any iron. So the voltages will be unreliable.

 

[CoyotesGator]

Yeah, that might be an issue.

 

[CoyotesGator]

You’re going to use the big chassis and head shell right?

Edited for dumbassery and spellerings.

 

[Far Rider]

I'm using the original chassis from the failed HiWatt build. It's about the same size as a standard JTM45 chassis. It will fit in the small headbox I have. I'll have to contact Sandy for a faceplate and backplate as soon as I know what it will look like. First though I have to get that iron.

 

[CoyotesGator]

Inbound.

 

[Far Rider]

Oh no you didn't!

 

[CoyotesGator]

Oh no you didn't!

Oh yes I will!

 

[Far Rider]

Only under the condition that you PM me your PayPal account name and what they cost, plus shipping.

 

[Far Rider]

Plus gas to get to the shipping spot plus waiting in line fee plus traffic aggravation fee.
